3.00 Credits
This course covers the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures, building on the foundation that most students obtain in a course on statics. Topics include static determinacy and stability, reactions, member forces and moments in beams, frames, and trusses (2-D and 3-D) through both determinate and indeterminate methods, as well as approximate methods. Deflection analysis is also covered. Computer applications for analysis are used and matrix methods of analysis are introduced. Dynamics structural analysis is also introduced. Prerequisite: MAT-1520 and CET-2040.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the design of steel structures, including typical structural elements such as tension members, beams, columns, base plates, connections, open web joists, and deck systems. Designs are based on the AISC Steel Construction Manual using the load and resistance factor design methodology. Issues such as economics of construction and constructibility are also addressed. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: ARC-3020, ARC-3110, and CET-2120.
-
3.00 Credits
This course familiarizes students with the various electrical and lighting systems commonly found in modern buildings. Systems include lighting, power, communications, and emergency systems. The course emphasizes design practices, safety/Code issues, and coordination with other design professionals and building trades. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2032, ARC-3110 or SDT-3110, and ELT-3020 or SDT 4110.
-
4.00 Credits
Students study the basic concepts and practical applications of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Topics include fluid properties and measurement, energy conservation, pipe and duct flow, pumps and fans, first and second laws of thermodynamics, refrigeration, psychrometrics, basic thermodynamic processes, and HVAC. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1520 and PHY-1043.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with an understanding of which codes and specifications govern the determination of design structural, heating/cooling, and lighting/electrical loads for buildings and other structures. It introduces students to the determination of applicable code provisions, the application of those code provisions, and also to methods for calculating and estimating loads that are not specifically addressed, (or are insufficiently addressed), in code books, manuals, and elsewhere (e.g., special studies, rules of thumb, past experience, expert elicitation). The course provides the basic knowledge and skills for the determination and use of such loads in courses such as steel structures design, concrete structures design, HVAC, plumbing, electrical/lighting, and Senior Project. Lectures introduce topics and methods of application; the laboratory emphasizes the application of codes and methods on varying structure types. 1 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2032, CET-2120, and MAT-1520 or instructor permission.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the design of typical statically determinate and indeterminate concrete structures. The course will make extensive use of the American Concrete Institute building code requirements and will consider concrete and steel material properties, design approximations, design of concrete linear members (beam and columns), one-way and two-way slabs, and foundation footings and walls. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: CET-2120, ARC-3110, ARC-3020.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers many of the business, management, professional, and ethical subjects that architectural and other engineers may face during their careers. These include legal issues; business organizational frameworks; personnel and diversity issues;, business planning and decision making; marketing; scheduling; professional ethics; project and design cost issues (including engineering economics) information management; technical presentation skills; and others. The course helps students develop communication skills and the ability to analyze and create management-related reports using various methods and tools, especially in a team setting on team projects. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2040.
-
4.00 Credits
This course addresses the engineering aspects of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems design. There is a focus on mechanical systems for commercial buildings that includes psychrometrics, basic HVAC calculations, design condition determination, load estimating, duct and pipe sizing, HVAC systems, and HVAC equipment selection. Students are required to perform system design on a commercial building in preparation for Senior Project. Introductions to energy conservation, comfort condition, indoor air quality, and mechanical codes are included. ASHRAE standards and international codes are used as a basis in these areas. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2032, ARC-3050, and ARC-3110 or SDT 3110.
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course learn the basic practices and techniques for the design of plumbing systems in buildings. International Plumbing Code commentary is the basis of course materials. Emphasis is placed on the design and calculations for sizing sanitary waste and vent systems; domestic hot and cold water systems; water heaters; storm drainage systems; and fire sprinkler systems, as well as fixture selection. Each topic includes discussions on materials and methods of construction and installation; code requirements; computer applications; specifications; and drafting symbols and standards. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2032 and ARC-3050.
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides students and practicing professionals with applications for, and review of, engineering, math, and science concepts to prepare for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination administered by most states as a first step toward professional licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE). The course focuses on topics that students have been exposed to previously, and on topics that are generally easier to understand and apply with limited explanation of background material. FE exam topics that are covered significantly in Senior-level ARC courses (e.g., ethics and engineering economics) receive limited coverage. Strategies for studying for and taking the FE and similar examinations are covered, as is the application of engineering judgement in general. Applications are primarily in SI units to match the FE examination. 3 hours of lecture/ laboratory per week for 8 weeks. Prerequisite: Senior standing, AET or an ABET accredited program, or instructor permission. [Course fee $35.00]
