4.00 Credits
An introductory studio course developing a set of working drawings for a residential construction project. Course topics include the history of drafting, drafting views, basic drafting techniques, measuring, residential terminology, basic document production and best practices. Emphasis on document production for wood-frame construction and the application of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software into the design process. This course advances to explore multi-family construction concepts, design considerations and code implications. An examination of the coordination and drafting of civil engineering information for residential design is included. (Prerequisites: None)
-
2.00 Credits
This introductory Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) course explores AutoCAD Architecture beginning with basic AutoCAD tools and advancing to AutoCAD Architecture tools. CAD management concepts and exploring AutoCAD Architecture 3D are included. (Prerequisites: None)
-
2.00 Credits
An exploration of building materials used in commercial and residential construction. Common building materials such as wood, masonry, concrete, and metals will be examined. Basic building methods such as foundation systems, framing systems, and windows-door systems are analyzed. Introduction to architectural detail drafting and software detail component libraries are included. (Prerequisites: None)
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of the documents used in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction. Discussion topics include the design process, phases of design, contract terminology and CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) Divisions. Emphasis on examining the industry standards used in all aspects of document production. An exploration of estimating for budget using principles of quantity takeoffs and computation of materials is included.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory studio course developing a set of working drawings for a light commercial construction project. Course topics include commercial construction principles, commercial terminology, document management, advanced document production and best practices. Emphasis on document production for steel-frame construction and the application of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software into the design process. An introduction to the incorporation of state and local building code as they pertain to architectural design is included. (Prerequisites: ARCH 1101, ARCH 1202 and ARCH 1203.
-
2.00 Credits
Introductory Building Information Modeling (BIM) course that explores Revit for Architecture. An in-depth practice of basic Revit tools as they pertain to modeling basics, drafting views, detail creation, construction documentation, and renderings. A strong emphasis on industry standards and best practice for BIM. (Prerequisites: ARCH 1101, ARCH 1201)
-
2.00 Credits
A continued exploration of building assemblies used in construction. Common building methods such as concrete, structural steel, light-gauge steel framing, and membrane roofing are examined. Commercial applications of fabricated stair/railings and elevator systems are analyzed. A strong emphasis on architectural detail drafting and full unitization of software detail component libraries. Coordination and drafting of civil engineering information for commercial architecture is also included. (Prerequisites: ARCH 1103 and ARCH 1201)
-
2.00 Credits
An exploration of state and local building codes as they relate to the residential and commercial building sector. Students will develop an understanding of the current Minnesota Building Code (IBC), Minnesota Residential Code (IRC), Minnesota Accessibility Code (ADA), and Minnesota Energy Code. Emphasis on the process of analyzing and applying the building code for architectural design and document production. (Prerequisites: None)
-
4.00 Credits
An advanced studio course developing a coordinated set of working drawings for a heavy commercial construction project. This course will advance students' knowledge of commercial construction principles, the applications of architectural and engineering systems, and the scheduling/management of construction document preparation. The research/incorporation of applicable codes shall be major factors in developing this set of construction documents. A progression to advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) strategies will be incorporated. Emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, and software application. (Prerequisite: ARCH 1201)
-
2.00 Credits
Intermediate building information modeling (BIM) course that expands on Revit for Architecture. Focus on establishing company standards and an in-depth practice of template creation. Deep exploration of Revit families, custom family creation, and the practice of creating parametric entities. Discussion of online Revit content resources is also included. (Prerequisite: ARCH 1202)
