3.00 Credits
Structured work experience in an architectural business or industry setting under the supervision of the co-op faculty coordinator of the school. Objectives and evaluation criteria set by a learning contract are required. May be used as unrestricted elective or professional elective but not as a technical specialty. Pass/No Pass grading. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing, 15 credits in residence, 2.5 GPA, and permission of co-op coordinator.
-
3.00 Credits
Client requirements, user needs, types of use, space needs, performance criteria, budget, site analysis, and prototypes will be assessed in the context of an architectural program. The resultant document will become a working tool for the Senior Design Thesis. Three lecture hours. Prerequisite: Senior-level semester prior to thesis, or permission of instructor or chair.
-
4.00 Credits
Theoretical research on a specific topic identified by the student and accepted by the department faculty and chair. Topics may include structural systems, mechanical systems, architectural design methodologies, a specific style of architecture, and other areas as applicable. Prerequisite: AET 352.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is concerned with the mechanics of presentation drawing and portfolio preparation. The students are required to organize a comprehensive assemblage of architectural work through the intensive study of graphic principles and representation techniques. Two lecture hours, four lab hours. Prerequisite: AET 233 or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Behavior and design of steel structural members and connections using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method are studied. Structural design of tension members and beams is discussed. Analysis and design of columns, including slenderness effects, are studied. Members under combined forces also are discussed. Member stability and structural stability issues are investigated using effective length factors. Design of bolted, riveted, and welded connections are studied. General details of steel buildings are discussed. Laboratory includes design sessions as well as experiments with steel components. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisites: AET 355, AET 364, MTH 112, MTH 122, MTH 232, MTH 241, and PHY 120; or permission of instructor or chair. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to contemporary American professional architecture practice. The course focuses on the design and construction process, the architecture firm, the markets for architectural services, the work of architecture firms, and the professional context of the architect. Four lecture hours. Prerequisite: Upper-level standing or permission of instructor or chair.
-
4.00 Credits
Basic principles and current practices employed in estimating building costs are examined. Material lists and quantity takeoffs, as well as unit costs, overhead, and profit items, are prepared from working drawings on residential and commercial buildings. Public and private bidding and critical path are also covered. Four lecture hours. Prerequisites: AET 242 and MTH 241.
-
4.00 Credits
Theory and application of design concepts of reinforced concrete structures are studied. Flexural analysis and design of rectangular beams and T-beams, including serviceability requirements, are thoroughly studied. Behavior and design of one-way slabs are investigated and related to those of rectangular beams. Bond stresses, development lengths, and splicing requirements are also studied. Slenderness effects on the analysis and design of columns are investigated. Isolated spread footings as well as retaining walls are introduced. Laboratory includes design sessions as well as experiments. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisites: AET 355, AET 364, TH 112, MTH 122, MTH 232, MTH 241, and PHY 120. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Discussion of the historical roots of contemporary architectural thought and the possible future directions of the profession. Critical analysis of architectural movements. Prerequisite: Upper-level standing or permission of instructor or chair. Three seminar hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a study-abroad course that focuses on a sampling of the most significant structures in the history of architecture. The course is designed for students who wish to study examples of architectural history in direct contact with the historic structures. Students are required to sketch, diagram, photograph, and understand these structures while documenting their work with an architectural portfolio project and a research paper. Students travel to and tour these historic structures with the instructor. Prerequisite: AET 155 and AET 156, and permission of instructor.
