1 Plan for Assessment for AAS Degree Architectural Design & Drafting November 12, 2010 Item 1 List the learning outcomes for your AAS Degree: for Plan: 1. Design a residential or small commercial project responsive to site conditions, user requirements, codes and construction standards, and aesthetic and environmental considerations. 2. Produce architectural drawings using computer-aided drafting software. 3. Produce a set of construction documents that describe the construction requirements for a project, using accepted industry practices. for Plan: 4. Select and recommend building systems, structural systems, construction materials, and structural component responsive to the building s design. 5. Communicate with design professionals, clients, and engineers, using industry specific terminology and graphics. 6. Complete all phases of the design and documentation process with consideration of its impact on the natural world.

2 Item 2 Identify those that map to College Core : College Core Outcome #1 Design a residential or small commercial project responsive to site conditions, user requirements, codes and construction standards, and aesthetic and environmental considerations. Learning that map to College Core & Notes + Examples Outcome #2 Produce architectural drawings using computeraided drafting software. Outcome #3 Produce a set of construction documents that describe the construction requirements for a project, using accepted industry practices. Communication Collaborate with clients. Collaborate and coordinate in the workplace with design professionals. Visually communicate (design drawings). Make & defend aesthetic judgments (of architectural design). Collaborate and coordinate in the workplace with design professionals. Visually communicate (architectural drawings). Collaborate and coordinate in the workplace with design professionals. Visually communicate (construction documents). Community + Environment Identify community issues (i.e. sustainable design, fire and life safety). Interpret physical phenomena (i.e. energy performance data, site observations). Critical Thinking + Problem Solving Formulate ideas (designs), evaluate information (program, site), engage the imagination to explore new possibilities (design), express ideas in visual form (drawings), and understand the role of the imagination in creatively responding to problems. Express ideas in a visual form, (architectural drawings). Identify and evaluate information (analyze construction and detailing options, and implement into construction documents).

3 College Core Outcome #1 Design a residential or small commercial project responsive to site conditions, user requirements, codes and construction standards, and aesthetic and environmental considerations. Learning that map to College Core & Notes + Examples Outcome #2 Produce architectural drawings using computeraided drafting software. Outcome #3 Produce a set of construction documents that describe the construction requirements for a project, using accepted industry practices. Cultural Awareness Appreciate different forms of creative and artistic expression (in design). Apply appropriate techniques for expressing viewpoints (working with clients). Apply appropriate techniques for expressing viewpoints (in the workplace). Professional Competence Use resources to find information (codes, properties of structures). Use methods of expression, such as analysis (site), or creative processes (design). Produce a project or presentation (set of design drawings). Use computers to present solutions to problems (CAD software). Produce a project or presentation (architectural drawings). Use computers to present solutions to problems (CAD drawings). Use resources to find and cross reference information (codes, structures). Produce a project or presentation (set of construction documents). Use computers to present solutions to problems (using CAD software to produce construction documents). Self-Reflection Be protective of the safety of others (building codes). Respond to community issues (sustainable design). Appraise one's own skills and abilities (reviewing design drawings). Appraise own skills and abilities (review architectural drawings). Appraise one s own skills and abilities (review construction documents). Respect dignity of others (in the workplace). Appreciate and reflect on new ideas in a spirit of open interaction (receive client and co-worker feedback).

4 Item 3 Indicate how each degree outcome will be assessed: How Degree to be Assessed: Plan How assessed: Outcome #1 Design a residential or small commercial project responsive to site conditions, user requirements, codes and construction standards, and aesthetic and environmental considerations. Outcome #2 Produce architectural drawings using computeraided drafting software. Outcome #3 Produce a set of construction documents that describe the construction requirements for a project, using accepted industry practices. Setting A Portfolio Review of a Capstone project will provide the setting for the assessment for the three (above) Degree. The term project for ARCH 203 (6 credits) is a Capstone project that uses and synthesizes many skills from the program's curriculum; providing an excellent setting for evaluating these. The term project becomes part of a portfolio, and will be evaluated by an industry expert. This Capstone project provides the base for a student's professional portfolio, which they will use at job interviews for their Cooperative Work Education sites, and eventually for their job search. Approach Assessment will be based on depth and breadth of design response to site, program, codes, construction standards, aesthetic and environmental considerations. Assessment will be based on completeness of drawings, and their ability to communicate the architectural drawing requirements. Assessment will be based on completeness of the construction documents, and their ability to communicate the construction requirements. Students

5 Item 3 Indicate how each degree outcome will be assessed: How Degree to be Assessed: Plan How Assessed: Outcome #4 Select and recommend building systems, structural systems, construction materials, and structural component responsive to the building s design. Outcome #5 Communicate with design professionals, clients, and engineers, using industry specific terminology and graphics. Outcome #6 Complete all phases of the design and documentation process with consideration of its impact on the natural world. Setting A Portfolio Review of two projects will provide the setting for the assessment for these three of these Degree. The term project for ARCH 203 (6 credits) is a Capstone project that uses and synthesizes many skills related to structural and building systems, and construction materials; requiring industry specific terminology and graphics. The term project for ARCH 224 (4 credits) is a Capstone project that uses and synthesizes many skills from the program's curriculum related to building systems, and their impact on the natural world. These two project s becomes part of a portfolio, and will be evaluated by an industry expert. This Capstone project provides the base for a student's professional portfolio, which they will use at job interviews for their Cooperative Work Education sites, and eventually for their job search. Approach Assessment will be based on evaluation of building and structural systems, and construction materials, and their appropriateness to the building's design. Assessment will be based on completeness of drawings, and their ability to communicate the architectural drawing requirements Assessment will be based on evaluation of building design, and its consideration of its impact on the environment..
