-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the design of small buildings with emphasis on schematic and presentation drawings and model building. The course will explore the analysis and synthesis of architectural form generated by program requirements, physical systems, spatial organization, available technologies, and review of historic precedents and aesthetics. Two lecture hours, six lab hours. Prerequisites: AET 110 and AET 123, or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the integration of environmental control systems in architecture. The course explores factors affecting comfort, health, and safety. The fundamentals of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical systems, lighting, water supply, plumbing, drainage, and acoustics are studied. Applicable code requirements and energy conservation measures are included. Four lecture hours. Prerequisites: MTH 112 and PHY 121, or permission of instructor or chair.
-
4.00 Credits
Emphasizing the use of graphics as a problem solving tool, with particular focus on computer documentation, students develop an outline set of construction documents for a steel and concrete project. Students will prepare documents for one major project through the intermediate development of sketch exercises. Supplement ary lectures on building codes, legislation, construction techniques, detailing, and the integration of other disciplines are given. Site visits to local construction projects and professional offices provide a connection between lecture/lab and real-world applications. Two lecture hours, six lab hours. Prerequisite: AET 232 or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
An architectural studio course that will focus on the preliminary design, schematic design, and design development of an institutional building. Emphasis will be placed on developing the student's ability to research, analyze, and evaluate information as the design evolves. Students will prepare a major institutional project for review by visiting professionals and faculty. Two lecture hours, six lab hours. Prerequisite: AET 233 or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the theory and craft of model-making. Topics include modeling techniques as applied to a variety of materials. Different model types used throughout the design process are identified, investigated, and implemented in an illustrative project. Two lecture hours, two studio hours. Prerequisites: AET 123 and AET 233.
-
4.00 Credits
The built environment is composed of both the buildings and the land around them. Landscape architecture focuses on the design of exterior places that affects our everyday experiences. Based on design principles for architecture, this course introduces the student to how these principles are used beyond the building fa ade. Two lecture hours, six studio hours. Prerequisite: AET 233 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An architectural studio course with a focus on the design of buildings with an increased complexity and scale in a contextual setting. A systematic site and environmental analysis and design of a preliminary master plan will be followed by an architectural project exploring the formal and functional fundamentals of design. Two lecture hours, six lab hours. Prerequisite: AET 244 or permission of instructor or chair.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the concepts used in determining the appropriate use of building sites, including site surveys, topography, drainage, site utilities, zoning, wetlands, land-use issues and massing of buildings, roads, parking, and open spaces. Includes introduction to soil analysis, plantings, and landscaping. Students are required to conduct field investigation and site visits as part of their laboratory work. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisites: AET 241, AET 242, and AET 244; or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
The course focuses on the integration of environmental control systems in architecture. It explores the physiological and physical factors: the art and science of lighting, lighting engineering, lighting technology, and lighting graphics. The nature of sound and architectural acoustics, room acoustics, and sound isolation are also explored. Applicable code requirements and energy conservation measures are included. Four lecture hours. Prerequisites: AET 241, AET 242, and AET 244; or permission of instructor or chair.
-
4.00 Credits
Theory and application of engineering mechanics are studied. The use of free-body diagrams and static equilibrium of forces is emphasized. Included are moment of force, resultant of forces, couple systems, and transmissibility of forces. The relation between externally applied loads and induced internal forces within structural members is investigated. Analysis of statically determinate structures, such as trusses and beams, is studied. Axial, shear, and bending-moment diagrams and their relationship are introduced. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisites: MTH 112, MTH 122 and PHY 120, or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
