AB  -  Teaching Architecture, Engineering and Construction Disciplines: Using Various               Pedagogical Styles to Unify the Learning ProcessThe Architectural Engineering Department at the ( ) teaches introductory sophomore level staticsand mechanics of materials courses to students in three departments in the College of ( ). Thesecourses are unique in that students in the Architectural Engineering Department sharecoursework with students in the Architecture and Construction Management Departments. Whilelearning and problem solving in these multidisciplinary courses have many advantages, they alsooffer many challenges. The different learning style preference of the students in these threedistinctly different departments requires a fresh approach to the course structure. The courseswere reimagined in 2005 to improve the learning and subsequent passing rates of ConstructionManagement and Architecture students. Currently the structure of the courses utilizes atraditional lecture format coupled with hands-on activities. These lecture and activitycomponents have been developed to embrace various learning styles in conjunction with activelearning.This paper examines the learning preferences of current students spread across the three differentdepartments and compares them to the delivery methods used in the courses. Over a period ofthree years surveys have been taken to determine the mix of learning style preferences within thecourses. The surveys have shown that the majority of the students in a single department have apreference for a specific learning style. However that predominant learning style varies betweenthe three departments leading to the need to craft a complex learning environment. This papercompares course content and student learning strengths to develop correlations for future coursedevelopment. Conclusions have been made and suggestions offered to improve course deliveryand through these avenues improve learning for all students.
