4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to plumbing and fire suppression systems principles. The plumbing systems components to be examined include water supplies and domestic water distribution systems, plumbing fixtures and components, sanitary drainage systems, sewage treatment and disposal, and stormdrainage systems. Health and safety standards will be discussed using plumbing codes and systemconfiguration standards. The fire suppression systems components to be examined include fire science, fire safety design, fire detection and fire alarmsystems, fire suppression systems, automatic sprinkler systems and smoke control principles. Industry standards and variations will be discussed using NFPA codes and building codes. The architectural engineer's responsibilities to understand the purpose and configuration of these systems will be emphasized whether they are the designer of these systems or the designer of associated building systems. (prereq: AE-213)
-
4.00 Credits
This course continues the development of heating and cooling design, going fromthe basics learned in AE-3111 to the detailed analysis of HVAC systems and equipment. The course covers manual calculations for designing and sizing HVAC equipment, studying part-load performance, in addition to ASHRAE Standards requirements. (prereq: AE-3112)
-
4.00 Credits
This course continues the development of heating and cooling design, by applying what has been learned in AE-3111 (Principles of Environmental Systems Design) and the Systems-and- Equipment-intensive course AE-3131 (Building Energy Systems I). The course basically applies a systematic approach to the use of heating and cooling design as required by building simulation software, currently used in the industry. An actual commercial building case study will be utilized. (prereq: AE-3131)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of plumbing and fire suppression systems principles and then transitions into the systemdesign, layout and specification concepts of plumbing and fire suppression systems. The plumbing systems components to be examined include water treatment, heating and pumping equipment, plumbing fixtures, plumbing specialties and plumbing piping, and installationmaterials. Design standards and variations will be discussed using plumbing codes andmaster specifications. The fire suppression systems components to be examined include standpipes and hose systems, gaseous fire suppression systems, wet sprinkler systems, pumping equipment and fire suppression systems piping, and installation specifications. Design standards and variations will be discussed using NFPA codes andmaster specifications. The architectural engineer's responsibilities in design and specification writing will be emphasized through examples of construction document components, including plans, details and specifications. (prereq: AE-3121)
-
1.00 Credits
This course prepares the student to utilize building informationmodeling (BIM) as a coordinated, integrated and consistent approach to a building project in design and construction decisionmaking. Students are provided the basics to produce high-quality 3-D designs and construction documents, along with cost-estimating, and construction planning. The students will use BIMin the senior Project sequence. The course will utilize Autodesk Revit Building Systems. (prereq: junior standing, AE-1301, AE-1312)
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces ideas and goals of architectural expression as they have developed from ancient civilizations to the present. Topics include historical development of architectural reasoning and construction techniques. Specific structures are analyzed for their impact on architecture and urban/rural form. (prereq: junior standing or consent of instructor)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the student an introduction to financial and economic concepts that confronts the building construction, engineering, and design professional. Topics include financing the construction project, interest rates, economic decisionmaking, life cycle costs, rate of return analysis, commissioning, depreciation, income taxes, accounting procedures, budgeting, financial statement evaluations, professional liability, ethics, investment analysis, value engineering and sustainable design calculations. (prereq: junior standing)
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory electrical systems design course covers topics inmotors, switches, power quality, and safety, plus the basics in distribution systems, controls and the electrical code. (prereq: EE-201)
