This basic foundation course is required in the Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design curricula. It is a synthesis of fundamental design principles and an introduction to research as a tool for understanding programming and design. Lectures and demonstrations will utilize the case-study methodology to investigate various design strategies and to chart the historical course of modernism.

The designed object is tangible, but it is always first an image. The image, the product of visualization, is most fundamentally communicated through the techniques of twodimensional modeling we call drawing. Today's designer is privileged to own a vast range of technologies, ancient and modern, to devise comprehensive strategies for visualizing and communicating ideas. By integrating techniques the student will learn the appropriate tool to employ at any given point in the design process to effectively communicate to self and to others. Prerequisites: DRAW-101, grade of "C" or better i n ADFND- 101
-
3.00 Credits
Structural Analysis I provides the basis and serves as a foundation for subsequent advanced Structural Analysis courses. Assumptions, principles of equilibrium in determining structures Reactions, bending moments and shear diagrams. Analysis of plane and space trusses. Influence lines. Computer analysis of determinate trusses. Optimization in structural systems. Approximate methods of analysis for indeterminate structures. Determination of displacements by virtual work. Castiglione's theorem and moment area theorems. Prerequisites: ENGR 215
