Abstract

The core curriculum is a required part of four-year degree programs in higher education. The purpose is to ensure the essential knowledge and skills needed for a successful college, career, community, and life experience and participation. In the United States, each state has a similar list of requirements that slightly differ in category definitions and number of credit hours. The architecture, engineering, and construction degrees include the core curriculum courses as a part of the degree requirements defined by the state, regional accreditation, and professional accreditation procedures. The core curriculum courses also offer an opportunity for early preparation and recruitment for professional degree programs. This paper reviews the core curriculum participation of Texas architecture, engineering, and construction programs. As part of this study, the Texas General Education Core Curriculum database is queried for approved core curriculum courses taught by architecture, engineering, and construction programs at higher education institutions. The data is presented using the core curriculum categories, program rubrics, and the common numbering system designations. The existing patterns and established trends are presented. The paper discusses the opportunities and required resources for successful core curriculum offerings by the architecture, engineering, and construction programs.
