TEACHING IN TECHNICAL SUBJECTS CERTIFICATE
INTRODUCTION
Graduate students interested in pursuing teaching careers can earn a Certificate in Teaching Technical Subjects in Architecture while enrolled in one of the Master of Architecture, Master of Science, or Master of interior Architecture degree programs at the University of Oregon. This certificate program is designed for motivated students who will pursue and initiate a program of self-directed study under the supervision of the architecture technology faculty. The certificate courses require prospective students to develop a proposal that outlines how they will meet the course requirements and obtain approval for enrollment from one of the building technology faculty members who will oversee their work. Not all technology faculty will be available to sponsor students every term. In general, faculty members will be available to work with certificate students during the terms they are teaching subject area courses that can be used as laboratories for study. It is the student's responsibility to seek approval from an appropriate instructor prior to enrolling in ARCH 602, 661, 690, 609, or 619. Numerous alumni from the University of Oregon are currently teaching in the technology areas in schools of architecture nationally and internationally. Recognizing the need for training to produce qualified design/technology teachers, the Technical Teaching Certificate program was developed by Emeritus Professors John Reynolds and Edward Allen.
REQUIREMENTS
Students in the Technical Teaching Certificate program must complete a minimum of 24 approved credits in teaching and technical subjects, with proficiency in one technical subject area. Twelve credits must be selected from the core Technical Teaching Courses. Students enrolled in the University of Oregon Master of Architecture degree program may use 12 credits of technical coursework for both the Certificate and for the M.Arch. degree, but cannot count required, core technical courses(see worksheet). In the normal track of obtaining the Technical Teaching Certificate, students may expect to be enrolled for 1-2 additional quarters to fulfill the Certificate requirements; however some students with advanced placement in technical subjects may be able to complete the certificate within the same timeframe as their M.Arch., M.S., or M.Iarc. degree. Note: some students may have to complete additional advanced electives or studios to develop subject area proficiency.
Students not enrolled in the University of Oregon Architecture program must complete a minimum of 18 credits in technical architectural and technical teaching coursework taught at the University of Oregon -- but can also receive up to 6 credits for teaching courses at a home institution or in a professional office. A technology faculty advisor in the Department of Architecture must approve courses used to complete the Technical Teaching Certificate requirements. Non-architecture students interested in the Certificate Program should discuss specific details with the Director.
TECHNICAL TEACHING CORE COURSES
These individualized courses (with the exception of 660) are designed to allow the student to initiate a program of self-directed study in order to focus on a particular technical topic. A minimum of 12 credits must be taken from this list, to be counted toward the Technical Teaching credits.
Arch 602. Supervised College Teaching (1-6 cr). Students may earn credits in a variety of ways: e.g.
1 credit per lecture given in technical courses that address environmental control systems, structures, building construction, or building materials; 2 credits for documented hours of work that are beyond the FTE for a GTF appointment; 1 credit teaching methods course occasionally offered as a workshop.
Arch 609. Student Teaching Practicum (3-6 cr). Students will develop and teach a set of workshops or
seminars (under an instructor of record) incorporating design exercises and technical topics. Ideally would follow terminal studio for M. Arch II and III students or thesis for M.Arch I students.
Tech Teach Application_6.doc revised 10/3/2013 page 2 announced each year depending on visiting faculty, funding, and UO faculty teaching availability. In some cases Arch 507 or Arch 510 courses on a similar topic may be substituted, with approval from the Director of the Teaching Certificate program.
Arch 619. Terminal Project (3 cr). Preparation of application for teaching positions (review job ads,
develop interest letter, curriculum vita, teaching portfolio, and public lecture).; preparation of a technical paper and presentation for a technical conference.
Arch 661. Teaching Technical Subjects in Architecture (1-6 cr). An individualized seminar where the
student decides on a topic within a specific technology area and may pursue for example: pedagogical and curricular issues, teaching technical topics, critique and development of course assignments, development of innovative curricular exercises, review of textbooks for courses, development of a technical newsletter. Occasionally offered as a workshop.
Arch 690. Teaching Technology in Architectural Design (3 cr). An individualized seminar directly
linked to integrating technology subjects and design studio. Students may conduct technical workshops, provide desk crits, serve as midterm and/or as final reviewers for introductory studios (ARCH 181, 182, 281, 282, 681 or 682). The course proposal must be organized with the studio coordinators to properly integrate it within the curriculum and schedule.
ADVANCED ELECTIVES IN TECHNOLOGY
A variety of elective courses are offered during the year which may be counted toward the 12 credits for the M.Arch. degree and for any advanced study (Option II). Required, core technical courses for the M.Arch. degree may not be counted toward the Certificate.
ARCH/IARC 507 Advanced Technology seminars, High Performance Buildings, Case Studies in Sustainable Design
ARCH/IARC 510 Advanced Technology courses
IARC 592 Electric Lighting
ARCH 524 Advanced Design Development Media
ARCH 507 High Performance Buildings
ARCH 507 Ecology of Building Materials
ARCH 510 Seismic Study
ARCH 574 Preservation and Restoration Technology
ARCH/IARC 584 Architectural Design (with building technology emphasis)
ARCH 510 Passive Heating and Cooling Seminar
ARCH 595 Daylighting
ARCH 596 The Window
ARCH 597 Case Studies in Sustainable Design
ARCH 598 Energy Scheming
IARC 586 Custom Cabinet and Furniture Design
GTF POSITIONS
The certificate program is open to all interested students but is not directly linked to GTF appointments. Participation in this Certificate program does not guarantee that student will be awarded a GTF
appointment. Students holding GTF appointments are encouraged to link their studies in technology teaching to their GTF assignments. Certificate credits can only be earned through activities that are completed in addition to the requirements of their GTF appointment.
