success of thecourse.1.0 Introduction Designers, builders and owners have been increasingly recognizing the value of having moreintegrated approach in the design process to facilitate development of an overall better buildingperformance (Holland et al. 2010). To be equipped to contribute to and lead integrated design teams, it iscritical that students gain experience during their education in integrated design projects that leveragecollaboration (Messner et al. 2011). In academic settings, strategic locations for integrated design educationare commonly located in capstones and design studios. For engineering students, capstone courses looklargely at technical integration and engineering system development, whereas for architecture

Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Industry, theInternational Building code (IBC) is a powerful document that forces designers to adhere to an officialposition on acceptable building safety (Field & Rivkin 1975; Hutchings 1998). Students majoring inarchitecture, landscape architecture, civil engineering, architectural engineering, and constructionmanagement will become responsible to adhere to building code regulations upon graduation (Gerber2009; Solnosky et al. 2017). The notion of understanding building codes within the context of actualbuilding projects, with site and urban requirements, inherently supports effective interdisciplinary andcross-disciplinary collaboration and respect. To assure the competency of entry-level

design courses deserve a renewed sense of importance as students strive to concludethe academic experience and prepare themselves for transition to professional practice [10, 20,28]. It is an ABET accreditation requirement within AE Programs that graduates have a synthesislevel of knowledge in one of the four traditional AE disciplines (HVAC, Lighting/electrical,Construction, or Structural), with appropriate levels of application and comprehension of the otherthree disciplines [30]. Capstones provide excellent mechanisms for developing new leadersamongst the cohort of graduating students in these areas [26,30].Many researchers such as Dutson et al. [12]; Labossière and Roy [21]; and Todd et al. [32] haverevealed that there is significant

Student Exterior Rendering of a Fire StationCurriculum IntegrationStudents who wish to take the architectural design course must first take a 200-level prerequisitecourse to learn basic competency in AutoCAD and Revit. With this basic proficiency, thestudents acquire additional depth of Revit skill in the architectural design course. Lesson bylesson, they apply their Revit skills to create their individual fire station designs.In the final semester of their civil engineering curriculum, all students take a common capstonecourse together that integrates their design option experiences as collaborative project teammembers. Clevenger et al [13] recommend this approach of students learning BIM skills andconcepts in a standalone course and then

will be taking.For the entire third year of the program, the students will study at an off campus architectureschool, where they will work on building design projects alongside architecture students. Thecurriculum for this new program has an emphasis on “communication, collaboration, anddesign”. This paper presents an overview of the program curriculum and discusses challengesencountered and lessons learned in the program development and implementation to date.Highlights of the challenges faced include issues such as: attracting students to a new programwhere there are relatively few current examples to point to (in Canada) of well-established careerpaths, marketing lower year students of this new program to prospective coop employers

Applications is motivated by three advances in digitaltechnologies.First, there has been significant developments in Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM isone of the most promising advances in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries[5]. BIM is a simulation comprised of a three-dimensional model of building project with links toall the required information connected with the project planning, design, construction oroperation [6]. BIM models are the virtual equivalent of the actual building and can containengineering data including structural, mechanical, electrical, and material metrics and quantities,as well as other information [7]. The possibility of exporting these models into fully immersiveenvironment has opened numerous

experience that can be used fordesign of structures in extreme environments on earth as well. It is reasonable that architecture andAE students of today be given the requisite knowledge in their programs in order to pursue thisalternate but allied career.A typical architecture curriculum includes design studios and courses on history, theory, structures,technology, and other building science courses. A typical AE body of knowledge includes designstudios and courses on structural, electrical, mechanical systems, and construction management.The focus is primarily on buildings for terrestrial conditions. Seldom do courses delve into designfor extreme conditions on earth, not to mention about architecture and engineering for outer space.Many schools

It was found that the event provided a stress-free learningenvironment, and the students that participated received, on average, higher grades for abridge design course project than those that did not participate [8].Following the successful implementation of the Design Days event model for severalengineering programs, it was clear that the Architectural Engineering program would bewell-suited for an event with a similar format.
