Study Architecture 
ProPEL ACSA White Paper
Overview
Architecture is a diverse field that draws from multiple areas. Many architecture programs can and do include STEM-related content and a segment of architecture faculty already conduct research in STEM-related areas of interest. Taking advantage of this can offer potential to schools of architecture in both the education and research components of their mission.
The intention of this paper is to:
- Introduce STEM;
- Outline potential benefits to Architecture programs if STEM designated;
- Describe the distinction between STEM research and the Federal STEM designation given through a CIP code;
- Present survey results describing STEM in current Architecture programs; and
- Offer Case Studies and resources related to STEM; and
- Offer a position paper on Architecture and STEM.
