He remarked, “Another skill I really utilized was communicating with people. I met some people who could be very beneficial to me in my future in construction. We got to know each other well at work and outside of work as friends. I always look at it as a person should always be confident and try and talk to everyone because it is always good to meet new people and you also never know who you are going

In this stage, the variable was assumed to be thenumber of credit hours for the studio. As mentioned before, each studio is six credit hours. Bychanging the number of credit hours to five, it would be possible to offer two additionalconventional courses (either in the area of engineering or architecture) during the four years ofthe program and maintain the current 124 semester credit hours.

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
