3.00 Credits
This course further expands the student's knowledge of plumbing systems design learned in AE- 315. Topics covered include advanced systems analysis and design of high-rise plumbing systems, domestic water heating systems, hot watermaintenance systems, gas and vacuum systems formedical facilities and industrial applications, and high purity water systems. Coordination with other building systems including electrical, fire protection and HVAC systems will be included to aid in the understanding of conflicts during the design process. (prereq: AE-3141)
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers the student an opportunity to understand and demonstrate skills in problem solving and design of building projects. Areas stressed in this course include problemanalysis and solving, project design, graphic and oral presentation techniques, architectural programming, building code search and working drawing standards. (prereq: senior standing; coreq: AE 4712 or CM-4712)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is based on the principle that in order to properlymeet a client's goals on a building project, the Architect/Engineermust understand the economic factors thatmotivate the client to build. The student is taught their role in pre-development analysis along with the basic principles of real estate investment, cash flow, engineering economics, depreciation, appreciation, and tax shelter. Additional topics include development history, zoning, tax laws, equity investments, LEED, sustainable development, and appraisal techniques. Emphasis is placed on the application of economic analysis to the senior design projects. The instructormay arrange guest lectures and tours through out the quarter. (prereq: AE-3431, or CM-3013)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides financial and economic concepts that confront the building construction, engineer, and design professional. The student is taught their role in pre-development analysis along with the basic principles of real estate investment. An insight is gained on the economic factors thatmotivate the client to build. Topics include: financing the construction project, interest rates, economic decisionmaking, life cycle costs, rate of return analysis, depreciation, income taxes, budgeting, financial statement evaluations, professional liability, investment analysis, value engineering and sustainable design calculations, cash flow analysis, engineering economics, appreciation, tax shelter, development history, zoning, tax laws, equity investments, LEED/sustainable development, and appraisal techniques. Emphasis is placed on the application of economic analysis to the senior design projects. The instructormay arrange guest lectures and tours throughout the quarter. (prereq: senior standing)
-
3.00 Credits
In previous courses, the student gained a knowledge of using a CAD systemto create 2-D and 3-D drawings. In this course, the emphasis is on 3-D drawing. Emphasis also is placed on the potential for AE presentations. The 3-D aspects are used to illustrate site planning and layout. (prereq: AE-1311, junior standing or consent of instructor.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers topics involving typical equipment utilizing solid state devices for power quality, such as uninterruptible power supplies, transient voltage suppressors, power line conditioners and voltage regulators. Grounding and neutral systems are studied. The student is exposed to basic electronic concepts, devicesmonitoring and analysis associated with this equipment. (prereq: AE-3641)
-
3.00 Credits
A study ofmethods and operations of an electrical project fromthe perspective of the electrical engineer. Topics to include electrical estimating, specification writing, project code review, project scheduling, safety awareness and building code review. (prereq: senior standing, AE-463)
-
1.00 Credits
This course is the first part of a three-part series in designing a building for a real life client using the design build project deliverymethod. The course concentrates on developing the required programa designermust complete in order to understand the clients building and design goals and requirements. The studentsmust understand spatial relationships, building users, building codes and budget constraints in the development of the final program. The programis then used in the other senior project courses, AE-4721/CM-4721 and AE-4731/CM-4731, as a basis of the design for the building. Other topics include organization, teambuilding, client interviewing skills, LEED and sustainable development, space analysis, building code review, building type research, value engineering and CADD. Note: BSAE students should registers for AE-4711; BSCMstudents should register for CM-4711; five-year, two-degree BSAE/BSCMstudents would register for AE-4711 in their fourth year and CM-4711 in their fifth year. Studentsmust take this course in consecutive terms with AE-4721/CM-4721, followed by AE-4731/CM-4731. (prereq: senior standing or fifth year standing in BSAE/BSCMfive-year program.)

This course is the first part of a three-part series in designing a building for a real life client using the design build project deliverymethod. The course concentrates on preparing and developing the required "program" a designermust complete in order to understand the client's buildinand design goals and requirements. The studentsmust understand spatial relationships, building users, building codes and budget constraints in the development of the final program. The programis then used in the follow-on senior project courses in subsequent quarters, as the basis of the design for the building. Other topics include teamorganization, teambuilding, client interviewing skills, LEED and sustainable development, space analysis, building code review, building type research, Building InformationModeling (BIM) and CAD. Note: BSAE students should register for AE-4712; BSCMstudents should register for CM-4712; five-year twodegree BSAE/BSCMstudents should register for AE-4712 in their fourth year and CM-4712 in their fifth year. Studentsmust take this course in consecutive terms with AE-4721/CM-4721, followed by AE-4731/CM-4731 and AE-4733. (prereq: senior standing or fifth year standing in BSAE/BSCMfive-year program, Successful completion of all junior level AE technical specialty courses,Major GPA of at least 2.0; coreq: AE-4311)

1.00 Credits
This is the second of the three-part senior project series. This is a teamtaught course, taught by architects, structural engineers, HVAC engineers, plumbing and fire protection engineers, building electrical power distribution engineers and constructionmanagers. It continues to emphasize the design-build process and requires an interdisciplinary teamof students to utilize their respective engineering design specialty courses or constructionmanagement expertise as they design a building and plan for its construction by using estimating, scheduling, budgeting and construction projectmanagement techniques. The following phases will be completed: (1) site analysis; (2) preliminary architectural drawings and presentations; (3) architectural design development drawings; (4) preliminary engineering (structural, environmental, electrical) systems analysis; (5) preliminary budget analysis; (6) project scheduling and (7) ongoing project management responsibilities; (8) presentation to clients and other professionals. Note: Fouryear BSAE studentsmust register for AE-4721; four-year BSCMstudentsmust register for CM-4721; five-year BASE/BSCMtwo-degree studentsmust register for AE-4721 in their fourth year and four CM-4721 in their fifth year. The three-course sequence 4711/4721/4731must be taken in consecutive quarters during the same academic year. (prereq: senior standing, AE-4712)
