								2.00 Credits 
								This is an interdepartmental, team-taught course. The following topics are presented fromthe AE& BC Department: an overview of the architectural engineering and construction management programs and five-year and dual degrees; career paths in architectural engineering and constructionmanagement; and the constructor's role and the design process in architecture, structural, environmental and electrical systems engineering. An architectural conceptual design project is completed by a teamof students and the design process is discussed. Presentations of student projects are required in the various phases of completion. The students also learn teambuilding skills and relationships in this teamproject. The General Studies Department faculty introduce topics to develop the students' academic, personal and interpersonal skills that help in college and create a sense of campus involvement. The oral presentation and written expression skills are enhanced with class participation and feedback.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								4.00 Credits 
								This course is a study of the properties of constructionmaterials,methods ofmanufacturing and installation.Materials include wood, steel, concrete,masonry, asphalt and gypsumas components of architectural engineering. A laboratory reinforces the principles presented in lecture. (prereq: one year high school chemistry or CH-090)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								This is an introduction to basic graphic communication skills needed by architectural engineers. Topics covered include lettering and line weights, views of structures in plan elevation, section, isometric and perspective. Also, as part of this course the student is exposed to basic building systems. Introductory AutoCAD is used in two drawings. (prereq: AE-1311)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								1.00 Credits 
								This second course in the graphics sequence for AE and CMstudents covers basic graphic and communication skills needed by architectural engineers. Topics covered include lettering and line weights, views of structures in plan, elevation, section, isometric and perspective. Also, as part of this course the student is exposed to basic building systems. Graphics are produced using drafting, freehand and CAD. (prereq: AE-1312)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								1.00 Credits 
								This class teaches the basics of 2-D CAD architectural drafting. The CAD programused is AutoCAD. No previous CAD experience is required. General CAD topics include basic drawing, editing and copying, along with dimensioning and text insertion. Specific AutoCAD functions include blocks, attributes and the use of layers. This course cannot be taken for credit by either AE or CMmajors.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								1.00 Credits 
								This first course in the graphics sequence for AE and CMstudents teaches the basics of CAD drafting and Building InformationModeling (BIM). The CAD programs used are AutoCAD and REVIT Building. No previous CAD experience is required. General CAD topics include basic drawing and editing of details in AutoCAD, 3D buildingmodeling, and an introduction to the concept of utilizing REVIT Building to produce estimates. (prereq: None)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								4.00 Credits 
								Statics is a study of force systems acting on rigid bodies not inmotion. The analysis includes forces acting in and on beams, trusses and frames in equilibrium. Topical content includes 2-D and 3-D systems, free body diagrams, pulley systems, friction, centroids andmoments of inertia. Analysis includes both scalar and vectormethods. (prereq:MA-137; coreq: PH-110)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								4.00 Credits 
								This course is the study of stress and strain of elastic bodies. Areas covered are analysis of statically determinate beams; shear andmoment equations and diagrams; flexural and shear stress; double integrationmethod; and axial, torsional and thermal loads of statically indeterminate systems and columns. (prereq: AE-200)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								This course is the study of stress and strain of elastic bodies. The focus of the course includes Hooke's Law and stress and strain due to axial force, torsion, bendingmoment, and shear force. Statically indeterminate structures with axial and torsional loadings are also studied. (prereq: AE-200)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								This course continues the development of elastic solidmechanics. Areas covered are stress transformation and principal stresses, deflection of statically determinate beams and an introduction to the analysis of statically indeterminate beams, elastic buckling of columns, and energymethods. (prereq: AE-2011)
