Prerequisites: ARCH 287 and completion of the Architecture Core programThe course is structured to explore new modes of contemporarypractice, specifically Integrated Project Design/Delivery, and the roleof B.I.M. (Building Information Modeling) as it pertains to designand decision-making in contemporary architectural practice. Thiscourse will explore the use of B.I.M. and related analytical toolsto get immediate feedback on buildings systems and sustainabilityalternatives that can inform the design process. We will focus ondeveloping proficiency in the use of B.I.M. software while at the sametime looking at how this tool and related computer technologies arechanging the way that information is generated and utilized withinthe practice environment. Collaborative Projects with other disciplinesexplore how information, including cost, scheduling and buildingmaterial usage, is shared among the various parties involved in thedesign and construction process.

This course is designed as a foundation in the biological sciencesfor future elementary school teachers. The goal of this courseis for future teachers to gain a better understanding of majorbiological principles and processes so that they will be morecomfortable with and proficient in teaching life science in theelementary classroom. As such, this course focuses on sciencecontent and not science pedagogy, though the teaching of biologyin the classroom will be discussed. Topics will include basic cellbiology, the flow of energy and material through living systems,genetics and heredity, basic human development, mechanismsof evolution, the diversity of life, and the principles of ecology.The laboratory reinforces the concepts of the class and providesstudents with a hands-on, inquiry-based introduction to theprocess of science.
