A 8-month long, no-cost, cohort-based program consisting of multiple half-day sessions and mentoring triads. Work between sessions provides more in-depth learning and enhances learning in the interactive sessions. The program is led by seasoned leaders from several universities and colleges who bring a breadth of experience and perspective. Leader-coaches and mentors will be assigned to support participants on their learning journey.

Course and Curriculum Structure.

A case study will be used throughout the curriculum as a device to engage participants in a realistic architectural engagement.  We will meet monthly in a virtual class one a for a 4 hour session.  Between sessions, you will work in a triad with your peers on homework assignments and peer coaching sessions.  Once a month, you will meet with your leadership coach who will guide you on your journey.  

Learning Outcomes we expect you to gain:

  • What is architecture and what is Architectural Thinking?
  • Understanding the Context of your architecture practice
  • Leadership Skills and competencies for Architects
  • Soft Skills needed by Architects
  • Communication Skills used by Architects
  • Methods and Tools that are often used by Architects
  • Case Studies of success and failure
  • AND MORE!

We hope that you will join us in the New2EA Program.
