Architecture and Environmental Design at California Polytechnic StateUniversity in San Luis Obispo is the only college in the nation that has departments ofArchitecture, Architectural Engineering, Construction Management and LandscapeArchitecture in the same college. The institution has a 60 year tradition of collaborationbetween the engineering, architecture and construction disciplines, particularly at thelower division level. To enhance this collaboration, the college committed to providingan upper division, interdisciplinary experience to every student in the form of a projectbased, team oriented five unit studio laboratory that every student would take. Thecourse is now in its third year and requires small teams of architecture, engineering

We proceed to review specific relevant prior studies examining the use of visualrepresentations to support problem solving. Winn, Li & Schill30 found that university studentsperformed significantly better while solving word problems related to family relationships whenthey were presented with tree figures instead of statements only, showing that conceptualrelationships expressed through spatial arrangement permit more rapid problem solving thanequivalent texts.

For this project, three groups (undergraduate, graduate and faculty) with differenteducational backgrounds developed learning modules. The student groups were selected to helpwith the development because it would give a fresh perspective on the design projects. Theundergraduate students would gain some ownership in the education of their peers. The graduatestudent would learn more about teaching through the development of a design project. Theutilization of the student groups to develop design projects would permit more design projects tobe available

Design process courses teach students the process of design, usuallythrough design cycles and effort management tools such as Gantt charts and work breakdownstructures.
