Alex Campbell, P.E. is a licensed Professional Engineer and an Assistant Professor of Architectural Engineering at Oklahoma State University. Alex practiced as a structural engineer before transitioning to teach at his Alma Mater where he received his Bachelor of Architectural Engineering (BAE) and Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MS) degrees. In practice Alex specialized in structural steel connection design and brings his experience into the classroom teaching Statics, Steel I, Steel II, and the beginning Architecture Design Studios.
JOHN PHILLIPS, a registered engineer and Professor of Architectural Engineering, practiced as a structural engineer for nine years before returning to his alma mater to teach at Oklahoma State University. He teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses in building structures.
The concept of utilizing interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and cross-disciplinary approaches for first-year engineering students has been increasingly studied over recent years. However, many of these studies examine the use of general engineering concepts and subsequently provide a connection of how they apply to engineering design. As an example, a program may present an engineering project and then discuss how mathematics and physics fit within the context of the project. While it is imperative that first-year engineering students understand the relationship between these fields and their role within engineering, there are limited studies which examine immersing first-year engineering students into a teaching environment that is centered around the understanding of another closely related major.
This paper will present an overview and assessment of immersing first-year Architectural Engineering students into a beginning architecture design studio that is instructed by both Architecture faculty members and an Architectural Engineering faculty member.
