The Nebraska architectural engineering program won five awards at the annual Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) Conference April 3-6 near Washington, D.C., including Ece Erdogmus, professor of architectural engineering, being presented the AEI Outstanding AE Educator Award.
In the student design competition, the Nebraska Master of Architectural Engineering (MAE) team won both of the innovation awards given to the team that had the best response to the special challenges – one in acoustics and on in wood/timber/engineered wood design. The team also took second place in the structural sub-discipline.
The AEI student design competition allows for only one team per university, and the Nebraska AE team was one of the four finalists selected from the seven universities that entered.
Members of the Nebraska team were Gabriel Larsen, Monica Houck, Shamsa Al-Salami, Sarah Drummey, Austin Seagren, Aisha Alhashmi, Jeffrey Thompson, Rahil Al Jabri, Luke Dolezal, and Brooke Scherer.
