  • 1.00 Credits

    PreReq: AEC 118 CoReq: AEC 131 and AEC 133 (or prior completion of either) An introduction to AutoDesk 3D Studio VIZ (if available), a high-end 3D modeling and rendering program primarily aimed at building design. Topics include the user interface, basic modeling concepts, object creation, material rendering, and lighting. The student will construct several 3D computer models. (If the software AutoDesk 3D Studio VIZ is not available, a generic 3D rendering program, possibly "Sketch Up"will be substituted.) (2 lec/lab hrs.)
  • 3.00 Credits

    PreReq: Eng 22 or ESL 15 or placement in Eng 100; and Eng 21 or placement in Eng 102 Philosophical development of society's physical fabric as revealed by the range of representative physical designs. (3 lec hrs.)
  • 1.00 Credits

    PreReq: AEC 127 CoReq: AEC 134 and AEC 138 (or prior completion of either) This course expands on AEC 117 and AEC 127. Emphasis will focus on measuring horizontal distances, on steep slopes, alignment between points, and mistakes and errors in measuring distances. Also included will be the horizontal circle, digital verniers used in measuring angles, instrument set-up, measuring vertical angles, setting points on line and intersection of lines. (2 lec/lab hrs.)
  • 1.00 Credits

    CoReq: AEC 131 or prior completion Introduction to structural drawing for building construction and includes load analysis, concrete and steel plan and detail drawings, and wood frame design. Drawings to be done with AutoCAD. Emphasis on floor and roof framing, lintels and beams, and posts and columns. Goals is to develop in students a sense and basic understanding of structures in building construction. (2 lec/lab hrs.)

    PreReq: AEC 134 Materials, Design & Communication. Hands-on exploration of various materials and construction techniques and as introduction to various design processes as systematic approaches to solving architectural/ environmental design problems. Analysis of architecture as the creation of spaces generated by human needs and aspirations and developing concepts to explore and achieve innovative solutions responding to these needs. Studio activities involving thinking, reading, writing, model making and a variety of communication techniques with emphasis on the delineation of 3-D spaces using perspective drawing techniques, light notation and computer modeling. (8 lec/lab hrs.)
  • 1.00 Credits

    PreReq: AEC 137 CoReq: AEC 141B and AEC 147 (or prior completion of either) This course will introduce the student to ArcView's software for Geographic Information System (GIS), a data gathering program, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for data gathering of points, lines, features, and areas.
