Spring 2015 Advisory Board MeetingThe State of Architectural Design

Architecture firms employ approximately 158,000 people in the United States (Bureau of Labor Statistics).

The employees at architecture firms break down according to these percentages:• 36% of employees are licensed architects

(includes principals/partners)• 16% of employees are intern architects

(on licensure path) or students• 13% of employees are nonlicensed graduates

(graduates of accredited architecture programs not currently on licensure path) • 22% of employees are other design and nondesign professionals

(engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, planners) • 13% of employees are technical and nontechnical staff (includes nonbillable technical and administrative staff)

Spring 2015 Advisory Board MeetingHi Mark,

Yes – there is a big demand in the design

community for modelers as you describe.

If you go to the Arch/Engineering section of the Craigslist ‘jobs’ section and type ‘Revit’ in the search, you will see how big the demand is in

the Denver market.

In general, we have a hard time finding good modelers who also understand how a building is put together. We look forward to potentially

hiring your graduates.

Thanks,Dan

Program Strategies, Short Term

Improving Program Budget Effectiveness:

• No Summer Courses, 2015

• 2015-2016 AY: Courses offered only in the Template Semester


Spring 2015 Advisory Board MeetingProgram Strategies, Short Term

Getting the Word Out:

• Continuing Direct Outreach to DPS, Englewood, Jeffco, and Aurora Students

• Continuing Improvement and Expansion of Web Identity

• Internships: Proving Our Worth to our Professional Community



Goals for AY 2015-2016:• Improving integration of structural principles

in Construction Technology courses

• Cross-course Seminars: Instructors teach 1-2 class meetings in other AEC/CAD courses over the

Semester

• Linked Courses: AEC 100- ENG 121AEC 125- ENG 122

• History of Architecture: Adding a technological bias to the course: historic and traditional building

methods and materials
