  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Surveys architecture from prehistorical times through the Renaissance, including Western and non-Western cultures. Stylistic and technological developments of architecture are studied in relationship to the cultural diversity of social, political, and religious contexts and historical periods.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Credits those students meeting the rigorous requirements of working in an approved architecture or construction-related position. Periodic meetings with the faculty advisor will discuss such items as workplace etiquette, appropriate workplace attire, etc. Students must make an oral presentation at the completion of the internship to receive credit. (Offered summer semester only). Prerequisite: Successful completion of all first-year courses as indicated in the current college catalog for the architecture program, 3.0 cumulative GPA or better for all Harper classes, 3.75 cumulative GPA for all ATE classes, and consent of coordinator.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Develops methods and strategies to apply design principles to fundamental architectural problems. Employment of 2- and 3- dimensional exercises to explore concepts of mass, space and structure as well as principles such as proportion, rhythm, scale, symmetry and procession. Exercises will be designed to promote an understanding of the process of concept formation and application. Prerequisite: ART 110 and ART 121 with grades of C or better, or consent of instructor.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Applies and advances design principles and processes gained in ATE 201. Studio projects representing practical architectural problems are assigned. These incorporate multiple issues and principles as well as site, user and context parameters. Project solutions will be documented with accurate drawings and possibly models. Prerequisite: ATE 201 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Develops construction strategies of multi-storied steel and concrete commercial and residential buildings. Covers stairs, elevators, and toilet room layouts. Reviews fire-resistive construction technologies, window walls, ceiling grids, lighting, partition details, mechanical and electrical requirements. Prerequisite: ATE 103 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Introduces three-dimensional architectural computer graphic techniques and applications. Covers the transition from twodimensional to three-dimensional drawings, creation and manipulation of wire frame and solid modeling techniques. Prerequisite: ATE 106 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Provides in-depth exposure to advanced three-dimensional representations of architectural forms. A variety of postprocessing programs introduces advanced three-dimensional representations to include modeling, shades and shadows, texture applications, walk-throughs, and photorealistic rendering. Special problems are investigated. Prerequisite: ATE 205 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Introduces architectural statics and covers concepts of force systems in equilibrium: parallel forces, perpendicular forces, analysis of concentrated and distributed loads in live and dead-load applications resulting in tension and compression members, and members subjected to combined forces. The class will introduce strength of materials. It will apply principles of design analysis to steel, concrete and wood construction materials in slab, beam, column, and foundation configurations. Prerequisite: MTH 140 or equivalent.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Develops and applies the content from the ATE 103 and ATE 203 sequence in a hands-on studio course. Students will gain fundamental skills in various trades such as rough framing, finish, carpentry, and masonry to build architectural assemblies. Drawings will be created as a preliminary step. The intent is to gain an understanding of actual materials and assemblies and how that should influence the design and construction detailing process. Prerequisite: ATE 105 and ATE 203 with grades of C or better, or consent of instructor.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Introduces development of preliminary estimates. Covers building plan take-offs and unit costs applied to residential and small scale construction projects.
