Abstract

At California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly), Architectural Engineering (Arch-E) professor Kevin Dong spearheaded an interdisciplinary collaboration, which started as an off-campus collaboration" in its first year, and in subsequent iterations over eight years, involved a partnership with Cal Poly's Department of Architecture and faculty members Jim Doerfler, Thomas Fowler and for a time, Mark Cabrinha. Since the faculty were teaching the interdisciplinary courses for architecture and architectural engineering students as an overload, it was helpful to have multiple colleagues involved to share the time commitment. Additionally, the faculty forged strategic academic and industry partnerships with ARUP (Dong's employer before he began teaching) who gave workshops on collaboration and provided feedback during a weekend-long charrette, and education specialists at AutoDesk who supported the digital learning process.
