Hands-On Practicum Project, the Cornerstone of our Approach
Unique to FEAC™ is an EA practicum project requirement, providing a valuable, relevant and hands-on experience that enhances and reinforces the lectures and course work while also helping to develop important architect communication skill. The students often bring back to their organizations an EA, that many of the CEAs describe as having 5 to 10 times the value of the investment.
