4.00 Credits
Contract documents (drawings and specifications) are analyzed for code requirements as they apply to the design and construction of buildings in Massachusetts. Various classifications of construction types are considered for fire safety and other code requirements. Elements of design, project scheduling, and construction supervision are also studied. Lecture: 3 hours Laboratory: 2 hours Prerequisite: Methods & Materials of Construction (ARCH107) or Permission of Instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Electrical power and distribution systems, lighting design, and acoustics are studied in this course. Particular emphasis is placed on demonstrations and projects. Manufacturers' data and professional level charts and references are used. Interrelation of building design and environmental control systems is the theme. Lecture: 2 hours Laboratory: 4 hours Pre/Corequisites: Concepts of Technical Physics (PHYS133) or Technical Physics II (PHYS142) or College Physics II (PHYS152) or General Physics II (PHYS162); and Construction Planning (ARCH230); or Permission of Instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Properties of wood, steel and concrete under typical construction conditions are studied. Stresses are analyzed under common loading conditions and allowable stresses compared. Building codes and manufacturer's data in tables and charts are analyzed and applied, using basic engineering formulas, to basic building designs. Demonstrations, laboratory and team projects are used to introduce professional practice. Lecture: 3 hours Laboratory: 2 hours Pre/Corequisite: Concepts of Technical Physics (PHYS133) or Technical Physics II (PHYS142) or College Physics II (PHYS152) or General Physics II (PHYS162) or Permission of Instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Basic design elements of buildings are analyzed. The student applies the code requirements to bubble and function diagrams. Upon completion of data, students prepare their own designs. Individual instruction is given to students in the development of sketches to express their concepts. The first two projects emphasize the planning, design, and materials. The last project includes emphasis on design pertaining to structural and mechanical systems. Lecture: 1 hour Laboratory: 4 hours Prerequisites: Construction Planning (ARCH230) and Working Drawings II w/CAD (ARCH122) or Permission of Instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Four aspects of building construction are studied. This includes the use of building materials, the development of structural systems, and the development of environmental systems as they relate to architectural concepts and functions. Field sketching of building construction and graphic clarity of representation are stressed to develop design presentation skills. Internet research, computer graphics and field trips are used by students for projects and presentation. Lecture: 1 hour Laboratory: 4 hours Pre/Corequisite: English Composition I (ENGL101) or waiver by placement testing results or Permission of Instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Students learn a variety of material based on O.S.H.A. and E.P.A. health and safety regulations. They are made familiar with the physical, chemical and toxicological properties of hazardous materials and waste. Participants in the course are also presented with methods of evaluating and controlling hazardous materials and are taught the use of personal protective equipment such as self-contained breathing apparatus, and fully encapsulated suits. Students are also presented with sampling and monitoring techniques as well as site entrance and decontamination procedures. This course includes the required minimum 40 hours of training for O.S.H.A. Certification. Lecture: 2 hours Laboratory: 2 hours
-
3.00 Credits
This course complements Working Drawings II w/CAD (ARCH122). The student is taught the basics of detailing and drawing required for the construction of a building. Instruction is given in the use of selecting components to detail an assembly for such details as expansion joints and wall jambs. Technical information is assembled from manufacturer's catalogs, the Internet, and Sweet's Source to provide data for free hand sketches of detailed assemblies. These details are discussed and modified. The final details are done in CAD in a full drawing format. Lecture: 2 hours Laboratory: 2 hours Prerequisite: Working Drawings II w/CAD (ARCH122)
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers cost per square foot, assemblies, and unit cost methods for estimating construction projects. Sample projects representing commercial and residential construction are used in computer labs for complete estimates. Working drawings and specifications are used for estimating quantities. Reference manuals, CD's and estimating software complement the specifications and drawings. Lecture: 2 hours Laboratory 2 hours Prerequisite: Working Drawings II w/CAD (ARCH122) or Permission of Instructor
-
2.00 Credits
This course, in conjunction with on-job training, is designed to analyze the operations connected with structural steel erection. Topics covered include historical use of iron and steel, planning, and the processes of structural steel, column and beam erection. Lecture: 1 hour Laboratory: 2 hours
-
2.00 Credits
This course, in conjunction with on-job training, is designed to equip the student with the knowledge, skill, and ability required to become a competent rigger. Topics covered include history of rigging, use of wire and rope, and reeving. Lecture: 1 hour Laboratory: 2 hours
