Oxford defines art as “the expression or application of humancreative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producingworks to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power [1].” One might simplifyand suggest that art is a process led by the human mind that

Similarly, civil engineering courses in design around the world havemostly focused on timber, masonry, reinforced concrete, and steel structures. However, increasedglobal warming in recent years due to greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with the need forenergy efficient buildings, has resulted in several architecture programs including at OklahomaState University to offer courses on sustainable building design, covering topics on buildingenergy modeling.The growing interest in energy efficient buildings has resulted in building facades beingconstructed of different materials, such as wood, sheet metal, glass, aluminum, and vinyl [1].

Due to theseeducational fundamentals, the discipline unites the interdisciplinary expertise of structural,mechanical, electrical, acoustic, and construction engineering, which helps in conceptualization,design, construction, operation, and maintenance using creativity and education. However, todevelop sustainable practices and design buildings that prioritize human conditions and society’swell-being, other competencies exist alongside technical expertise.These competencies, on one end, align with the requirements in national policy documents[2][3][4], ABET

studentslack the ability to communicate clearly and concisely early in their careers. Their poor writing brings toquestion whether the writing is confusing or the thought process is confusing them. Addressing these twodeficiencies deserves a review of the university writing curriculum. Three questions should be examinedby programs: 1) Should all freshman students receive instruction in creative writing? 2) Should engineeringstudents be taught differently than the general college population? and 3) Should technical writing beintroduced earlier in the curriculum? Three areas to improve engineering writing were identified in FoggyMirror: • Sentence structure to express a complex idea is difficult to master. Students often resorted to complex

Architecture students are generally visually orientated andhave rather creative minds, capacities that seem less compatible with the more-strict rulesand systematic approach of doing research” [1]. Considering this characteristic ofarchitecture students, there is a preference towards the use of create visual study tools ratherthan traditional reading-writing methods.It is crucial to recognize that employing diverse teaching methods enhances the approach toknowledge acquisition.

Dysert [5]describes this type of estimate as an analogous estimate; “an analogous estimate is typicallyprepared by selecting a completed project as a base case, and then adjusting the historical costsfor the technical, performance, complexity, physical, and other differences between the newproject and the base case.” When preparing this estimate, we generally end up with a singlepoint, which is usually the cost. The single point (cost) is evaluated by generating a cost per unit (normally area), where thetotal project costs is divided by the total gross area of the building. Such evaluation is made with-out reference to: (1) specific conditions about site condition, (2) site limitations for
