In addition, the paper will cover the teachingmethodology used, project milestones scheduled to motivate students, and the criteria used toassess student learning.Introduction and BackgroundA new curriculum recently adopted at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (CalPoly) is based on a model similar to that proposed by Hauck and Jackson5, where constructionmanagement is taught as a series of labs integrating the various construction management coursesinto an active, applied learning experience. The integrated curriculum for the Cal Poly constructionmanagement department centers on seven (7) project-based laboratory courses. They are as follows: • Fundamentals of Construction Management

Theserequirements specify some general characteristics of the curriculum and, for a specific field ofstudy, define a list of subject areas that must be covered by the curriculum and thecorresponding number of scheduled contact hours.The general curriculum requirements formulated in 1996 for electrical and computer engineering(ECE

to look for workable solutions to specific problemsrather than universal solutions.4Recent criticism of scientific approaches to curriculum design, implementation, and evaluationhave been accompanied by an alternative approach often referred to as design or developmentresearch.11 Central to the idea of design research is that the design of the curriculum and theresearch on the effectiveness of the curriculum are not separated. Design and research areiterative processes that provide feedback for each other through cycles of design,implementation, and evaluation. The design is based on theories of learning while the researchon the design provides clarification of the theory as it is put into practice. Clarification theninforms changes in the

. An important questionthat must be continuously addressed is: how do engineering technology faculty, who live in anenvironment of research expectation, combine their classroom and laboratory teaching interestswith research interests? This paper will discuss a process for bringing together what manyfaculty feel is a dichotomy between teaching and research. How engineering technology facultymight develop a rewarding career in both teaching and research will be outlined.I. IntroductionMany engineering technology faculty in the United States are employed at universities whereresearch is an integral part of the university’s mission.

Since most undergraduate engineers enter the workforce directly from college (~20%attend graduate school), an engineering curriculum should better prepare students for the type of skills they willneed in industry. 1,2,3,4 This “simulated corporate” environment presented in this paper is design to emulate the learning processstudents will encounter in industry. This course is designed as part of the electrical and computer engineeringcurricula that exposes students to all aspects of integrated circuit design and fabrication.

Similarly, a white paper by the Association for Computer AidedDesign in Architecture (ACADIA) stated that “students need to use digital techniques throughoutthe curriculum” and that “a digital design sensibility must pervade the school culture” [8]. Given the predominance use of discrete courses to deliver content related to CAD inmany architecture curriculums, an alternative approach to integrating digital skills may be toutilize the discrete CAD courses as a mechanism for
