A great benefit of thisarrangement is that considerable interaction takes place amongst the departments mirroring theinteraction and collaboration that occurs in industry. One of the more successfulinterdepartmental collaborations has been amongst the architectural, construction managementand architectural engineering departments. This exchange of information and studentsencourages greater knowledge and understanding of each other’s disciplines and preparesstudents for a practice that increasingly values such interdisciplinary

Conversely, the HEPE approach provides an opportunity for non-engineering students tobecome exposed to key concepts and practices in engineering. This paper outlines the initialimplementation of the HEPE program, by placing the effort in context of broader trends ineducation, by outlining the overall purposes of the program, discussing the course design andstructure, reviewing the learning experience and outcomes assessment process, and providingpreliminary results of a baseline survey that gauges students interests and

Housed in the College of Architecture andEnvironmental Design, ARCE resides with the departments of Architecture (ARCH),Construction Management (CM), Landscape Architecture, and City and Regional Planning. Thecollege has a 60 year tradition of collaboration between the engineering, architecture andconstruction disciplines. Several decades ago, all students in the college took a common twoyear curriculum prior to separating into their respective disciplines. Although that model nolonger exists, there is a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration at the lower division level.ARCE students take three architecture studios side

They answer this question: “Are we making healthy choices?” They turn the mirror on themselves and evaluate everything they do as they operate within their organization. They evaluate their interpersonal relationships with colleagues, the quality of their decision making, their problem solving, and how well they interact with others outside their sphere of influence, etc. Everything they do is data for analysis. 3.

In today’s economy of tight university budgets, it is unrealistic to think that universitiescan initiate and sustain high-quality professional graduate programs without external support.Whereas scientific research is the primary focus at many schools of engineering across thecountry, and is supported directly by federal funding, it is now evident that professional graduateeducation does not fit this model of funding. This paper begins the exploration of new fundingschemes in collaboration with industry and government support to sustain the increasingmomentum for the advancement of professional education in engineering practice andtechnology leadership for 21st century universities.Funding Models for EducationThe funding model
