-
4.00 Credits
An introductory illumination and communications systems course with lighting basics, which includes illumination, interior lighting design, energy use and electrical codes and communication basics in security and fire alarmsystems. (prereq: AE-3611)
-
4.00 Credits
Topics include power systems below 600 volts, totalizing loads, feeder and branch circuits, power transformers, overcurrent protection, fault currents, circuit breaker selection, and electrical code application. Panelboard and switchboard selection, electric service entrances, power factor correction, power company coordination, small andmediummotors,motor control and electricalmeasuring devices are covered. Laboratory experiments relating to equipment and analysis, as well as a case study, provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate application of coursematerial. An electrical design project is started in this course. (prereq: AE-3612)
-

The illumination design topics include outdoor lighting and specifications. Communication topics include telephone systems, cable systems, LAN systems, emergency systems, exit lighting, backup batteries and generators. The electrical design project is continued in this course. (prereq: AE-3641, AE-3621)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is the second course in reinforced concrete design. Basic design of beams, one-way slabs and short columns is reviewed. Emphasis is on beams and slabs subjected to torsional loading, long columns and two-way slabs. Frame analysis with computer- aided applications is introduced, along with the concepts of prestressed concrete and composite design. (prereq: AE-3021, AE-3023)
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering properties and behavior of wood andmasonry are determined by their unique characteristics. Design techniques for wood beams and columns, and nailed and bolted connections are presented. Design of reinforced and un-reinforcedmasonry bearing walls is covered. (prereq: AE-3021, AE-3023)
-
4.00 Credits
This course familiarizes the students with a basic knowledge of HVAC systemcontrols and control theory. Topics covered will be pneumatic, electric, and electronic control systems and components. Building energymanagement and its connection to control systems will be introduced. In addition to this, basicmotors starters and power sources will be reviewed. Reinforcement of the various topics will be provided through laboratory tests and observations using the various HVAC equipment located in the Johnson Controls Energy Laboratory. (prereq: AE-3132, AE-3612)
-
3.00 Credits
Using the information fromthe previous energy systems courses, the student will study basic energymanagement froman energy conservation perspective. This will include various methods of energy conservation and the savings afforded by them, evaluation of equipment and systemperformance, along with calculation procedures required for systemeconomic evaluations. The course will emphasize the retrofit of existing systems for energy conservation. As part of the course, the students will be required to use an energy analysis computer program and spreadsheet analysis to calculate equipment performances. In addition, actualmethods in management of a building for energy conservation will be discussed. (prereq: AE-411)
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to environmental aspects and impacts of construction-related activities. Topics include an introduction to environmental laws, regulations and policies; environmental exposures to hazardous chemicals;management andminimization of construction and demolition waste; stormwatermanagement; air qualitymanagement and the hazardous communications standard. (prereq: AE-1231, CH-200, 201, junior standing)
