engineering departments themselves remain pri-marily concerned with how design directly impacts their teaching and interactions with students.As architects, engineers, and planners for more than a dozen collegiate engineering-departmentbuildings in the past decade, SmithGroupJJR has helped develop a series of best practices re-lated to facility design in this new era. While not the only firm to explore them, SmithGroupJJRhas organized these new best practices into five distinct trends that encourage active participa-tion, collaboration, and even spontaneity, reflecting an underlying ethic of student engagementfrom the freshman level up. We present them here, provide real-world examples from Smith-GroupJJR’s portfolio, and also propose methods of

Based on this impact, the design, creation, and maintenance of the builtenvironment presents both challenges and opportunities for design professionals. Sustainabledesign and green design have become everyday terminology in the design field and involve usingmethods and products that cause the lowest possible impact upon the ability of the naturalenvironment to maintain its natural balance. However, the practice of sustainable design can bedifficult and

In the buildingsystems design aspect it includes: HDR, DLR, Alvine Associates, Peter Kiewit and Sons,Kirkham Michael, and various other engineering-based firms. These members provide studentsand faculty with resources that include in-class lectures on practical applications of designslearned in the classroom, internship opportunities to students, and funding for research andstudent support to pursue advanced degrees.

Architecture andcivil engineering departments should take the lead and responsibility for promoting sustainabledevelopment, and the topic should be treated as a major consideration similar to protection of thepublic health and safety in design. Ultimately, the objective should be to graduate a new breedof design professionals (engineers and architects) who are knowledgeable of sustainable designand can integrate its concepts in real-world design projects.Diversity in Architectural Design and its Relation to SustainabilityIn recent years, the discipline of architecture has been impacted and reshaped most dramaticallyby two critical understandings: 1) the awareness of

Replicating the ex-periences and knowledge that students gain through practical application of their knowledgein an industry setting is unrealistic in a classroom environment.

This preparation is alreadyunderway in the architectural engineering (AE) field at some universities. To build onthis foundation, in the electrical and lighting option within AE, developing a relationshipbetween the academic community and the electrical construction industry will helpbridge the gap between fundamental engineering principles and practical installationexperience. This relationship is currently being implemented between the NationalElectrical Contractors Association (NECA), its research foundation ELECTRIInternational (EI), and AE students at the University

. Complexity of the design of daylightingsystems makes it less appealing to architects to undertake and makes it a risky task and liabilityfor architectural engineers. That is why rigorous design and/or engineering of daylightingsystems is uncommon in architectural practice. Further experimental research is needed toestablish a rigorous design procedure for the design of daylighting systems. In academia, there isa dire need for undergraduate and graduate education and exploration in the area of daylightingsystems design and engineering. The new daylighting laboratory, the artificial sky dome, atOklahoma State University, will provide the means of exploration to perform a much-neededexperimental research in the area of daylighting systems design and

Ultimately, theideas and strategies described here hold potential for new forms of relationship between people,place, material and earth. The paper is organized into two parts. The first part identifies threemajor concerns: 1) the current predicament of peak global oil production; 2) the re-occurringproblems associated with the mind-set separation of culture and nature; and 3) the untappedpotential between ecology, creativity, and architecture.

the CurriculumIn order to further this effort we needed to incorporate LEED and other ‘green building’ conceptsinto architectural and construction curriculum. While many programs have introducedenvironmental sustainability lecture courses into the curriculum, we have decided to makesustainability central to the mission of our upper level design classes. It is through problemsolving design projects that students best learn to research, understand, analyze, and apply theirknowledge of sustainable concepts. More than ever, leading design and construction firms arelooking for recent graduates that can help them create the environmentally sensitive buildings thepublic demands.This new focus on building better buildings has meant great potential

A review ofcourse syllabi collected as part of the faculty survey suggest that there are few, ifany, examples of best practices in seismic design education that are readilytransferable to a majority of architecture programs. Most depend on the ability ofuniquely qualified faculty or access to regional professional resources in areas ofhigh seismicity. The development of demonstration projects that are carefullydesigned for transferability could help schools address seismic design efficientlyand effectively. These projects could examine ways to access expertise

As stated by Viollet-le-Duc, “Themeans of healing this rupture could only be an education in which the architect is taughtengineering as well as art, and, optimally, the engineer learns how to practice his craft withappropriate artistry.” 1 Viollet’s theories are easily applicable to present day, because the basis ofhis ideas calls for the incorporation of new technologies and new materials into architecturaldesign. “A little reflection will show us the interests of the two professions will be best saved by their union…Whether the engineer acquires a little of our knowledge and love for artistic
