-
3.00 Credits
A career seminar in the Associate of Arts in Architectural Studies degree program focusing on the development of a portfolio of the student's work for use with advanced education applications or for exploration of career opportunities. The course will emphasize portfolio presentation techniques, resume writing, field trips, guest speakers, application procedures and personal presentation. Prerequisite: ARC 102 CR. 1
-
3.00 Credits
The course offers an introduction to the study, analysis, and mathematical solutions to architectural structures and the forces acting upon them. Topics covered include force vectors, moment and shear calculations, and the general stresses and strains on structure through an exploration of mechanical design principles and the mathematics related to them. Students will become aware of the deforming forces of tension, compression, shear, flexure, and torsion and their potential physical effects on building systems. Prerequisite: MAT112 and PHY115 (preferred science). CR. 3
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture format introduction to the most common materials used in architectural design solutions with an emphasis on aesthetics, design, integration, properties, stainable use, code integration, and structural limitations. Materials to be covered incude brick, concrete and other masonry products, structural steel, glass, wood, tile, and some surface treatments. Prerequisite: ARC 102. CR. 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to AutoCAD (computer-aided design/drafting) software to produce architectural and architecturally related drawings. This course is limited to students enrolled in UMA's architecture or computer information systems (CIS) programs. Prerequisite: ARC102. CR. 3
-
3.00 Credits
This is an advanced level AutoCAD (computer-aided design/drafting) course with use of architectural Desktop and related software utilized in the presentation of architectural concepts. Students will create construction and presentation documents. Introduction to Revit for Building Services (HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical drawing) and rapid proto-typing for 3-D models. This course is limited to students enrolled in UMA's Architecture or Computer Information Systems programs. Prerequisite: ART261. CR. 3
-
3.00 Credits
Through design projects of increasing complexity and public utilization, students will continue to develop skills in creative conceptual design and graphic/model presentations. Design analysis, awareness, and expression through a deeper understanding and exploration of architectural space, scale, and light and their combined effects upon human environmental behavior and experience will be explored. Technical issues to be considered include: code requirements, parking, zoning, mechanical needs, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and barrier-free (ADA) design. Prerequisites: ARC204, 221, 231 and concurrent enrollment in ARC332. CR. 4
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of ARC305 with more emphasis on conceptual design with increased social content. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, parking, infrastructure, landscape and site development issues, and solar orientation will be explored. Attention to the integration of technological concerns include: structure and structural systems, materials choices, parking, mechanical systems (HVAC, electrical, etc.), ADA, building codes, zoning restrictions, and advanced programming techniques. Prerequisite: ARC305. CR. 4
-
3.00 Credits
(This course is cross listed with ARH312.) The course will trace the history of modern architectural design by analyzing the impact of past social, environmental and technological forces on expression. The course will focus on 19th and particularly 20th century architecture. The format of the course will be lectures, occasionally by guests, with slides, film, discussion, and several field trips. Prerequisite: ARH105 or ARH106, or permission of the instructor. CR. 3
-
3.00 Credits
The course expands upon the study and analysis of architectural structures through an exploration of the design of structural components including: wood, composite materials, reinforced concrete, cables, and steel members. Students will become aware of the deforming forces of tension, compression, shear, and torsion along with the respective mathematical effects on the deflection of structural members including beams and columns. In addition, the concepts of structural continuity, combined stress, pre-stressing, and optimization design regarding various structural components and systems will be studied. Prerequisite: ARC221. CR. 3
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture, partial drafting, and model-building course in construction processes and associated working drawings. Students may be required to build accurate representational models demonstrating common construction systems and produce working drawings or the technical drawings required to explain traditional light construction practices and techniques. Prerequisites: ARC231 and concurrent enrollment in ARC305. CR. 3
