4.00 Credits
This course is a capstone course that integrates knowledge and skills developed through other coursework and life experience. Students prepare drawings, design documentation, and presentations for a commercial project based on preliminary and incomplete architectural plans (the ASHRAE national student competition building is typically selected) or other information. Students may work on schematic drawings for electrical/lighting, mechanical, and structural systems, and then focus on one technical specialty for the development of a final design; in most cases, a semester-long final design in one subject area is done. 2 hours of lecture, 6 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2022, 3030, 3040, 3110, 4010, 4020, and 4030.

3.00 Credits
This course will immerse students in the art and architectural history of a foreign city through participation in intensive coursework combined with the experience of a guided travel tour to Europe. The course will use visual perception and critical analysis to study the two interconnected fields while expanding student learning by experiencing the works of art and architecture first hand. It will reinforce each student's understanding of topics in the history, culture, art, and architecture of Paris. This is a cultural experience intended to enrich and broaden student perspectives in our increasingly global world. Prerequisite: ENG-1061 and instructor permission.

1.00 Credits
This course helps students to gain basic skills for success in the Vermont Tech Automotive Technology program through library workshops, lab report writing workshops, and an introduction to Vermont Tech support services. The course also serves to introduce students to the automotive field and includes wide-ranging discussion on topics such as: career opportunities, graduate stories, Vermont auto history, repair order writing, and flat rate vs. straight time pay scales. 1 hour of orientation per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the student a thorough understanding of the theory, construction, and design of vehicle steering and suspension systems. Emphasis is placed on the geometry of links and levers, the physics of hydraulics, vehicle suspension requirements, vehicle handling and dynamics, and the diagnosis of suspension problems. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides a comprehensive study of the theory, construction, design, and repair of the internal combustion engine. Topics discussed include engine classification, power and torque development, engine power-efficiency tests, engine performance parameters, and mechanical design and failure analysis. The mathematical solution of performance characteristics is demonstrated. Alternative engines and fuels are also discussed. The lab reinforces the lecture by providing engine performance diagnostic procedures and mechanical repair and overhaul procedures. System problem diagnosis and component failure analysis are continually stressed. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is intended to give the student a thorough understanding of automotive electrical systems and to teach diagnostic and troubleshooting skills. Topics include the operation and testing of storage batteries, starting systems, charging systems, ignition systems, and basic accessory systems. The student will become familiar with various types of test equipment, diagnostic charts, and vehicle wiring schematics. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: ATT-1120.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the student a thorough understanding of the theory, construction, and design of those mechanical devices utilized in tires, wheels and bearings, and hydraulic braking systems. Emphasis is placed on the geometry of links and levers, the physics of friction and hydraulics, vehicle braking requirements, vehicle handling and dynamics, and the diagnosis of brake problems. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory, 1.5 hours of practical per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student to general electrical and electronic principles, theory, and components. Topics include Ohm's Law, circuit analysis, basic circuits, diodes, transistors, relays, and solenoids. The lab will use electrical test equipment to analyze and troubleshoot basic electrical circuits including warning systems, electrical accessories, and battery starting and charging systems. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
This course gives the student an understanding of fuel delivery systems as they relate to the internal combustion engine. Topics include engine air/fuel requirements, gasoline fuel injection systems, diesel fuel injection systems, and vehicle emissions and emission controls. The analysis of fuel-related problems, diagnosis of component failures, and verification of repairs are included. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHY-1030.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the student an understanding of commonly used chassis systems. Major topics studied include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, instrument panels, air bags, and anti-lock brakes. The student is familiarized with system operation, diagnostic techniques, system failure analysis, and repair. The lab offers experience in diagnosis and repair of these systems as well as more practice in using electrical diagnostic techniques. 3 hour of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: ATT-1010, ATT-1040, and PHY-1030.
