Topics cover a range of principles frombasic energy andmass balances to refrigeration cycles and heat exchangers. (prereq:MA-137, PH-110)
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the basic principles of fluidmechanics necessary for the design of building plumbing and fire protection systems, and for the design of air duct systems in building HVAC systems. Specific topics covered include: (1) introduction to basic fluid properties such as specific weight and viscosity, and an introduction to the concept andmeasurement of pressure, (2) the continuity equation for incompressible, steady flows, (3) the steady flow energy equation for incompressible, adiabatic fluid flow, and its simplified formthe Bernoulli equation, (4) computationmethods for frictional andminor losses in closed channel flow, (5)Manning's equation for open channel flow, (6) introduction to flowmeasuring devices, (7) basic principles of pumps, fans, compressors, and blowers, and (8) an introduction to plumbing and fire protection systemdesign through the use of various, applicable case studies throughout the course, but especially during the last week of the course. (prereq: AE-2121)

4.00 Credits
This course provides familiarity with the crew labor and equipment activities typically applied in building construction. Emphasis is placed on construction techniques involving themore commonmaterials, as studied in the AE-1231 Building ConstructionMaterials course. Laboratories highlight teamwork for the crew labor tasks applied to common assemblies and drawings of the architectural details necessary for their proper construction. (prereq: AE-1231, AE-130)

-
3.00 Credits
Provides a working knowledge of principles for writing effective specifications and interpreting standard construction industry contracts. The course begins with a review of contract law fundamentals. Contract document standards, as related to the CSIMasterFormat, are studied. Students compare provisions of AIA and AGC contract provisions in the context of risk, ethical behavior, and administrative procedures. (prereq: AE-1231, AE-1301)
-
3.00 Credits
This class will introduce you to the concepts andmethods of structural analysis. You will learn about building codes, load calculations, and you will advance past the limitations of statics into the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. (prereq: AE 201 or AE 2012)
-
4.00 Credits
Students study the fundamentals of both structural steel design and reinforced concrete design. Behavior under shear,moment, and axial load is analyzed and the proper design considerations for eachmaterial is explained. This course is an extension of the study of the concepts learned in Strength ofMaterials. The theoretical and allowable stresses are evaluated and compared for compliance with AISC LRFD Code and the American Concrete Institute Code. (prereq: AE 201 or AE 2012)
-
4.00 Credits
Theory and application of computerized structural analysis, with an emphasis on developing an understanding of structural behavior. The laboratory portion allows a student to study structural components analytically and then verify their behavior through tests using principles fromexperimental stress analysis. Test evaluations are based onmeasurements of strains and deflections at varying load levels. Test specimens include, tension bars, a flexural beam, a torsion bar, buckling rods, a full scale steel joist and a steel beamloaded to plastification. (prereq: AE-3011; coreq: Lab portion taught in parallel with AE-3023 lecture)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides a basic understanding of the interaction between soil conditions and the design of the foundation system.Methods of soil testing and site investigation are described and analysis of data is performed. Topics include soil types and classifications, physical properties, subsoil stresses, shear strength, bearing capacity, settlement, consolidation and lateral earth pressure. Foundation design topics include load transfer through the structural system, shallow and deep foundation types, design of foundation size, shape and reinforcement. Also included is pedestal, base plate and anchor bolt design. The course utilizes the latest American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code and other pertinent referencematerials. (prereq: AE-3021, AE-3023)
-
4.00 Credits
Students study the fundamentals of the integrated systems of steel structures. This study involves theoretical analysis combined with practical design projects. The specification of AISC LRFD Code is also studied. Connections,members and structural systems are evaluated. (prereq: AE-3021, AE-3023)
