Dear AEI Student Members,
Thank you for helping make the AEI Snapshot Magazine a possibility, and for
sharing your experiences with the AEI community! The goals of the 2015-2016
National Student officers were to improve communication between student
chapters, promote the AEI FORUM (Worcester, MA), publish the AEI Snapshot
Magazine and increase accessibility to resources for the AEI student community.
With the creation of the AEI Student Members Facebook group, we were
able to provide a more informal platform for sharing between different AEI
chapters. Use of AEI Collaborate, accessed through the ASCE website, is also
now a possibility (so check it out!).
Over 100 students from different schools attended the 2016 AEI FORUM this
past spring, and the design competition showcased the upcoming talent of
the next generation of engineers!
The publication of this issue of the AEI Snapshot magazine concludes our
third goal, and we hope for its continued presence in years to come.
We hope that with increased communication between chapters, and
accessibility with the use of AEI Collaborate (a method for sharing ideas,
questions and other resources) that AEI student members and their chapters
will continue to grow bigger, learn more, and become better prepared for
the future!
Best regards,

2016 AEI FORUM
Deliver The process of designing, documenting, constructing, and operating buildings, when systematically executed results in higher quality and greater efficiency for the owner.
Enclose To design, document, construct, and operate energy efficient enclosures for buildings, campuses, building systems and infrastructure that control the transmission of light, energy, air, moisture, and water.
Learn
To acquire and share knowledge about the design, documentation, construction, and operation of buildings, campuses, building systems and infrastructure to prepare the current and next generations for the challenges of the future.
Modular To design the construction of buildings with repeatable parts and to join two steps of conventional construction, fabrication and site erection, construction using the modular concept reduces on-site construction time, improves safety and quality, and maximize productivity.
Perform
The process of designing, documenting, constructing, and operating buildings resulting in lower utilization of non-renewable resources and increasing the use of renewable resources.
Resilient
Redundant, complete, coexistent, operative, robust and integrated systems, designed and constructed to increase service life of buildings and infrastructure, maximizing resourcefulness of building operators, so as to reduce the overall recovery time in response to various haz-ards.
Secure
To design, document, construct, and operate buildings, campuses, building systems and infrastructure to achieve continuous occupancy and normality while managing risk associated with man-made hazards.
Sustain The process of designing, documenting, constructing, and operating buildings, campuses, building systems, and infrastructure that minimizes adverse effects on the environment and results in a better future.
At the end of March 2016, a number of students and
professionals gathered in Worcester, Massachusetts for the
Inaugural AEI Forum. The Forum was held over a span of 3 days,
and included a workshop for student leaders, the Charles
Pankow Student Design Competition, and breakout sessions
where the AEI Build Initiatives were discussed.
At the workshop for student leaders, topics like email etiquette,
recruitment, and chapter organization were discussed. Students
exchanged ideas on how their chapters are structured, how they
recruit and retain new members, and how they organized and
put on events for the students at their schools. Following the
workshop, there was a brief social where students got the
chance to practice meeting networking with new acquaintances.
During the Student Design Competition, finalists presented their
collaborative effort in the design of the 888 Boylston Street
Tower in Boston. Each team presented their project for
approximately an hour, and then fielded questions from a
panel of judges for roughly another 15 minutes. Teams were
judged on Building Integration, Structural, Mechanical, and
Electrical Systems Design, and Construction Management and
Development. Three innovation categories were also judged -
Innovation in Sustainability, Resiliency, and Integration. See page
5 for a breakdown of the award winners.
On the last day of the Forum, students and professionals
gathered in group breakout sessions to discuss the AEI Build
Initiatives. Professionals related the Initiatives to projects they
had seen and concepts they had heard discussed in their offices,
and students and professors related the Initiatives to theory and
applications in academic settings. Everyone left the breakout
sessions with a new understanding and appreciation of the AEI
Build Initiatives.
The next annual gathering of students, professors, and
professionals will be hosted by the University of Oklahoma from
April 11-13, 2017.

This years competition challenged students to address the design, integration,
and construction issues that were considered for a 17 story mixed use office
building located on Boylston Street in Boston Massachusetts. Thirteen teams
from eight different architectural engineering programs participated in the
submittal portion of the competition. Seven teams were invited to present at the
finals for the competition before a jury of 12. Congratulations to all the winners!
The competition has grown from the initial vision of the AEI Board with the hard
work of Mohammed Ettouney and Amar Chaker in 2008 to develop a program
and acquire funding. The Charles Pankow Foundation generously granted ASCE
full funding for the first three years of the competition. The competition now has
approximately 11 corporate sponsors. It is exciting to see how this competition
has grown and is continuing to "Raise the Bar" in Architectural Engineering
education.

ENGINEERS NIGHT OUT
WITH
THE UNIVERSITY OF NERASKA—OMAHA
With the start of the 2015-16 academic year at the University of Nebraska at Omaha,
AESLAC, the Architectural Engineering Student Leadership and Advisory Committee,
pioneered a new event to cater to students, faculty, and industry professionals. The
event started as an effort from multiple students, and was tied together by a senior in the
Architectural Engineering program and member of AESLAC, Dana Anderson, over the
summer prior to the start of the school year. The key goals of the event were set:
enhance student-faculty relationships, enhance student-industry relationships, and better
the community within the Architectural Engineering program. The main challenges in
planning the event were procuring funding and obtaining a location.
As the idea progressed into something AESLAC wanted to execute, Dana began reaching
out to restaurants and local companies to see if this event was something they would be
interested in supporting. The location chosen was Dudley’s Pizza and Tavern, which is
located within walking distance from campus for students. A budget started being
formed and it was decided this would be a once a month event due to the excitement
that came with planning. With the help of Dr. Clarence Waters, two companies gladly
chose to sponsor the events for the academic year: HDR Inc. and Johnson Controls.
With a location set and sponsors found, the first event came together with minor hitches.
The event became known as Engineer’s Night Out. The first event was held Wednesday,
October 7th 2015 and the turnout was more than expected. Nearly 60 people were in
attendance, which included students, faculty and professionals from HDR, Johnson
Controls and a few other local companies. As with any new event, there was great
feedback on how to improve the event as the year progressed and how thankful people
were for the start of an event like this.
As Engineer’s Night Out has progressed throughout the school year, it has
been constantly evolving, with minor tweaks being made every month. The
primary focus of the event is to provide a consistent chance for students,
faculty, and industry members to interact on an informal basis. A major
focal point is coming up with creative ways to start conversation between
students and industry members. This provides students with a very easy
way to begin developing a professional network, and provides industry
with a chance to talk to potential interns or hires, and to give advice or
help to students when they ask for it.
Special Thanks To:
ENGINEERS NIGHT OUT
Another major instance of Engineer’s Night Out occurred during National Engineering Week, in conjunction with a larger
event being put on by the Nebraska Engineering Student Council at Omaha (NESCO). This event consisted of Engineer’s Night
Out combined with discounts and special promotions at surrounding businesses, all within walking distance. This event had
around 65 people in attendance, and brought a few new local companies into contact with the event.
As the event continues to develop, there will be two main focal points: reaching out to more companies in the area to
increase industry participation, and the interaction between students and industry members. AESLAC will continue to
brainstorm new, innovative, fun ways for students and industry to interact in a casual setting, which will help students
develop relationships with potential employers, and will let industry members come into contact with potential hires for
internships or eventual full-time employees. Engineer’s Night Out has created an entirely new dimension of connection
between students, faculty, and industry on the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s campus, and shows no signs of slowing
down in growth anytime soon!
“...enhance student-faculty relationships, enhance student-industry
relationships, and better the community within the
Architectural Engineering program. ”
TO THE NEXT 50 YEARS
WITH
PENN STATE
The Student Society of Architectural Engineers, Penn State's student branch of AEI is celebrating going into our fifty-first year. With this major milestone of passing fifty we are trying more than ever to revitalize and offer extensive opportunities for our members. Throughout the year we planned a wide variety of events from movie nights, community service and professional development events. Our main goal as a club is to really grow the AE community through social networks with students and alumni.
Houses/Mentoring Program To encourage students to come to meetings for reasons other than the free food, our student chapter has created four houses, like in Harry Potter. Each house is named after a major professor in our depart-ment and once a student joins the club they are then sorted into one of the respective houses. Throughout the year
the houses compete in a variety of events such as a scavenger hunt and penny wars to gain points to win the house cup in April. Each house also receives points for members that attend our general body meetings and other events. And as a way to create more interactions among the houses, at the end of every meeting we split up into our houses and distribute pizza to each group. Along with our houses we try to connect the underclassmen with the upperclassmen through a student to student mentoring program. We pair the first and second year students with third, fourth, and fifth years. This allows the younger students to have a
mentor to answer any questions they may have about different classes and professors. Through-out the year our club holds different events for the mentoring pairs such as the Mentoring games. At the games the mentees and the mentors are asked to answer questions about each other similar to the format of the Newly Wed game. This program really allows the students of different years to communicate and collaborate in a way that is normally not offered in other majors.

TO THE NEXT 50 YEARS
Alumni Involvement One of the major keys to the success of our club is our alumni. The alumni are interactive with the students and go out of their way in the Spring to come back to State College to participate in our annual Options Conference. At this conference which is geared towards first, second, and third years, alumni and professors give presentations and answer questions about each of the four options offered at Penn State. This gives our members a great opportunity to really understand what each option entails and how it pertains to their future careers. We could not have wished for a more successful night with over sixty students attending.
Another great way our alumni give back to our members is through mentoring. At the end of their third year students can sign up for an alumni mentor. Through the summer our officer board works with the Alumni Society of Architectural Engineers here at Penn State to pair each student with an alumnus who shares their career goals and hobbies. Once paired students have an invaluable resource to ask resume, career, and life advice at their disposal. Through members and alumni involvement our chapter has been extremely successful and we look forward to our continuing growth!

A YEAR IN REVIEW
WITH
MILWAUKEE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
The Milwaukee School of Engineering student chapter of the Architectural
Engineering Institute had another busy year. Last spring the Milwaukee
School of Engineering was happy to host the 2015 Architectural
Engineering Institute National Conference. It was a great event that our
officers and faculty worked really hard to plan the student activities which
highlighted the Milwaukee area.
This fall we held our annual Disability Awareness Week and Masonry Day.
Disability Awareness is a week-long event that is open to the entire MSOE
community. Students are given the opportunity to navigate campus in a
wheelchair to discover that typical daily tasks become difficult and
sometimes frustrating. Our Masonry Day event gives students as well as
professors a chance to work and interact with professional masons and
learn how to lay bricks and concrete masonry units.
The AEI chapter also hosted an event that welcomed the Creative
Engineered Architectural Systems division of the Porter Corp to discuss
open air steel structures. The discussion included great information about
the unique aspects of the design process as well as some of the new
materials that they are using to bring value to projects all over the
country!
We have happily continued our long-standing partnership with the
Milwaukee Admirals in manning the Admirals Ship. As well as the Rowdy
Raider ship for MSOE hockey games. While it’s a great time to get together
and have some fun, it’s also a great way the student chapter is reaching
out to the entire campus and Milwaukee community.
This spring we hosted several events planned. In partnering with
Milwaukee School of Engineering’s “Engineering Impossible” program
students from middle schools all over the community will participate in a
workshop hosted by the student chapter. It is a fun filled day that is
centered on a competition. Last spring the competition was to design the
strongest Lego bridge, this year the competition will be to an egg drop.
This is always a fun event that shows students how rewarding the different
fields of science and engineering can be.
Several members also attended the AEI FORUM this spring at the
Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is always
a highlight of the year to get together with other student chapters from
across the country!
