UVU Engineering Design Technology

Our friend and colleague Professor Dave Manning suddenly passed away on July 4th from heart complications. He taught drafting at UVU for 28 years. He was instrumental in supporting the creation of an architecture degree program recently and gave much needed wisdom and advice. He was such a creative genius in so many areas. Displayed with this post are a few drawings he produced in the last year. He will be sorely missed.

Hope spring break is going well for everyone. Students in our program, the EGDT 2740 special problems class are in Bluff, Utah building a small 200 sq.ft. Live/work unit. Traveling faculty and students from other universities will stay here when coming to Bluff. We are 4 days into construction. Lots of fun!

Check out the work produced by professor Manning at the Classical Architecture workshop we held this weekend. Quite amazing! We have another one scheduled in April. The 11th-13th.

Incredibly proud and humbled to announce the new Bachelors of Architecture degree program at UVU will begin this Fall 2019. Now we will begin the process of becoming eligible for accreditation candidacy with the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB). I've had the help and support of countless people over the course of the last year and a half getting this program approved. From my heart, thank you! The program will accept 24 students for the first cohort. We will go public with the website on Feb 1st where detailed information will be listed regarding the degree, required curriculum,and application procedures.
