The Architectural Engineering Institute is seeking jurors for the 2025 International Student Design Competition Committee
Enrollment Deadline February 7th, 2025
The jury is selected by the AEI International Student Design Competition Committee and consists of volunteers representing the architectural engineering options.
The jury reviews the written submissions received, selects the finalist teams, and is responsible for selecting the award winners during the finalist presentations.
The AEI ISDC highlights the collaboration of multi-disciplinary architectural engineering student teams, showcases the knowledge and application of design and construction principles to a real-world project scenario, and prepares students for the realities of their chosen industry. This year’s project is the Carson Building in Omaha, NE.
The committee has put together a list of traits for a good juror; those traits are as follows:
- Experience: Jurors should have 5+ years of experience in the category they are judging. This may include academic or professional experience.

The AEI ISDC Committee is looking for (3) Jurors per discipline:
- Integration – Interactions between the architecture, the engineered systems, and the construction
- Structural – Design of the building's lateral force resisting system, gravity system, and foundation system that are part of the primary load path
- Mechanical – HVAC Systems, building management and controls systems, plumbing design, fire suppression systems, and potential renewable energy sources
- Electrical – Building power distribution, lighting design and controls, fire alarm system infrastructure, data/security infrastructure, and alternative energy generation
