10-614-110 ARCHITECTURE REVIT INTRO
Introduction to the parametric design software Autodesk Revit used for building information modeling. Basic design and documentation tools will be employed. A simple building design will be modeled that matches given specifications. Lab. 1 credit.
10-614-111 ARCHITECTURE REVIT ADVANCED
This course expands the implementation of additional features found in the parametric design software Autodesk Revit. Advanced modeling and documentation tools will be explored. More complex building information models will be generated, edited, and documented. Prerequisite: 10-614-110. Lecture/lab. 2 credits.
10-614-112 BUILDING MATERIALS
Learn to consider material properties, processes of manufacture, installation procedures, and performance. Construction methods, building systems, and products will be evaluated. Materials will be analyzed and classified based on the Construction Specifications Institute Master Format. Lecture. 2 credits.
10-614-115 CONSTRUCTION BLUEPRINT READING
Students interpret blueprints for trade information. They draw sketches to convey ideas and utilize drawing software to prepare blueprints prior to building. Students appreciate the importance of accuracy and completeness as well as material selection. Students develop a set of residential building plans. Lecture/lab. 3 credits
10-614-120 ARCHITECTURE RESIDENTIAL
Residential house styles, building codes, and design components related to the site and structure. Conceptual designs of single family residences will be planned collaboratively. Construction drawings will be produced using Autodesk Revit and AutoCad design software. Prerequisite: 10-614-100. Lecture/lab. 4 credits.
10-614-121 STRUCTURAL RESIDENTIAL
This course highlights load distribution and coordination of structural components within residential buildings. Foundation systems, framing design, and applicable codes will be examined. Various methods will be utilized to select members for use in structural drawings. Prerequisites: 10-614-100, 10-614-110, and 10-606-119. Lecture/lab. 2 credits.
10-614-125 SITE DESIGN
Introduces students to the basic design issues of the urban environment. Explore building massing and site analysis as they relate to the urban context. Learn about vehicular and pedestrian circulation, zoning analysis, contour manipulation, and basic plant material selections. Course places a strong emphasis on in-class presentations utilizing the use of multimedia digital technology. Lecture/lab. 3 credits.
10-614-126 ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING SCIENCE
This course will develop the introductory knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts of applied statics and strength of materials as related to architectural design and building construction including force analysis; relationships of stress, strain, and deformation; resultants and equilibrium of coplanar force systems; and analysis of trusses and frames. Lecture. 2 credits.
10-614-127 JOB ORIENTATION
Occupational information prepares students to seek employment. Includes personal data sheets, job interviews, portfolio design, and letters of introduction and recommendation. Former graduates are invited to discuss needs of students before employment. Representatives of labor, management, business and the professions are invited to discuss points of interest toward becoming an employee. Lecture. 1 credit.
10-614-130 INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
This course will summarize the history, technology, and science underlying sustainable building practices. The human factor and the economics of sustainability will be discussed. Alternative energy including wind, solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, and fuel cells will be researched. Lecture. 1 credit.
10-614-131 SUSTAINABLE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
This course investigates basic sustainable design theory. The energy concepts of an extrinsically loaded house, natural building materials, and alternative technologies will be explored. Green building principles will be employed to design a home. Prerequisite: 10-614-130. Lecture. 1 credit.
10-614-135 BUILDING MEP SYSTEMS
This course will correlate the relationship between a building and it mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Codes, space requirements and specifications will be related to the building. MEP plans and necessary calculations will be prepared for a building. Prerequisite: 10-614-120 and 10-614-111. Lecture/Lab. 3 credits.

Topics introduced include preparation of typical estimated cost recording documents and techniques as well as preparation and presentation of formal bidding document. Lecture. 2 credits.
10-614-190 ARCHITECTURAL CAPSTONE
This advanced course offers architectural students the opportunity to incorporate content from the first three semesters while focusing on personal interests within the field of architecture. Students will begin projects as preliminary building program proposals, further refine them through the design phase, and then develop them into construction documents. Prerequisites: completion of first three semesters of Architectural Technology program. Lecture/lab. 4 credits.
10-480-100 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY OVERVIEW
Investigate the need for renewable energy systems and emerging careers in renewable energy. Students will examine the basic design, cost, and other considerations associated with photovoltaic, wind, and biogas electrical generation systems. In addition, students will evaluate the basic design, costs, truths and myths associated with solar thermal, geothermal, and biomass heating and cooling systems. Students will also explore the production and use of alternative transportation fuels. Lecture. 2 credits.
