127: NCARB Scholars of Professional Practice

Episode 127: NCARB Scholars of Professional PracticeWhat is the NCARB Scholars of Professional Practice?In this episode, we meet some of the individuals who gathered for the fifth annual NCARB Scholars in Professional Practice at Ball State University CAP:INDY. This event is one of the, if not only, places where professors gather to discuss the struggles and opportunities of teaching this course inside the architecture curriculum. We hear participants’ biggest takeaways from the program and explore a range of perspectives from educators, NCARB staff, facilitators, and more.“My first challenge as a teacher is to give my students confidence about what their professional futures look like. To generate excitement about it, to empower them, to say, ‘All of these topics are part of the equation that creates great design, and don't see these as an outlier to the design process.’ Approach this as another set of muscles that you need to develop in order to be the kind of architect you want to be.” - David Hinson, Associate Dean at Auburn UniversityLastly, Evelyn and Je’Nen discuss the “future of practice,” followed by a look at NCARB’s Futures Collaborative. We’ll learn about ways NCARB has started exploring the future of practice — and the role advanced technologies play in benefiting and strengthening the professional model. Tune in next week for a conversation with Jenna Knudsen, the Managing Principal of CO Architects.📍 Show Links:  National Council of Architecture Registration BoardsNCARB Scholars in Professional Practice📚 Continue Learning:NCARB Scholars: Going Further for Architectural EducationNCARB Article on Trends Shaping the Future of ArchitectureArchPaper Article on Practicing Practice📍 Follow Practice Disrupted on Social:Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Pinterest | TwitterCheck out our past episodes Be a part of our community — join the conversation!
