MATC 2021-22 Catalog

APPSVC – ARCHT DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

with emphasis on wood and masonry construction. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-101. ARCHT-110 Credits: 2 Computer Applications for Architecture This computer applications course is designed to provide students with word processing, spreadsheet, and PowerPoint and internet skills used in the fi eld of architecture. Additionally, the course is designed to introduce students to AutoCAD and the interface of the software with the MS Windows environment and the internet. ARCHT-120 Credits: 3 Structural Systems and Components The main objective of this course is to identify structural systems and explain how they function. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between component parts and the structure as a whole. This is accomplished through the use of descriptions, computations and analysis. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-101. ARCHT-121 Credits: 2 Architectural Materials and Methods 1 ARCHT-121 is a detailed examination of light wood frame construction – foundations, fl oors, walls, roofs and fi nishes. Topics include construction details and sequencing, documentation with wall section and framing plan, loads, load paths, member sizing, UDC requirements, water penetration and transfer of heat, air and water vapor. ARCHT-122 Credits: 3 Architectural Materials and Methods 2 ARCHT-122 covers the common materials and methods of commercial construction including masonry, heavy timber, structural frames, steel, site-cast and precast concrete, deep foundations, cladding and low- slope roofs. The course covers the general structural behavior of each of these systems. It covers how assemblies control the fl ow of liquid water, heat, air and water vapor, as well as fi re ratings and other applicable requirements of the International Building Code. Documentation includes detailed sections, framing plans and roof plans. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-121. ARCHT-131 Credits: 2 Mechanical and Environmental Systems 1 This course is an introduction to the broad fi eld of mechanical systems as they relate to building design. It will provide students with the information and tools they require to assess the need for those systems in buildings. Emphasis is on understanding the fundamentals of heat transfer, thermal properties, building component locations, and the interrelationships of mechanical systems and building. Students will be expected to use the knowledge gained to read and interpret HVAC drawings. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-102.

Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Appliance Technician (31-445-1) program. APPSVC-324 Credits: 4 Refrigeration 1 (Theory and Techniques) This course covers the theory of refrigeration and refrigerants, the operation of a domestic refrigeration system, and the operating principles of the electrical controls used with refrigeration systems. Test instruments, service tools and refrigerant recovery also are covered. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Appliance Technician (31- 445-1) program. APPSVC-329 Credits: 1 Related Business for Appliance Service This course is designed to orient the student to the nature and scope of the appliance technician’s work including meeting and working with customers, as well as providing selected skills in business English and business practices. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Appliance Technician (31- 445-1) program. APPSVC-340 Credits: 4 Kitchen Equipment 2 Electric range and microwave circuits, as well as the use of symbols are analyzed. Instruction and practical training are given in the reading of wiring diagrams used by service technicians. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Appliance Technician (31- 445-1) program. APPSVC-342 Credits: 5 Refrigeration 2 (Servicing) Cabinets, evaporator servicing, and defrosting of refrigerators and freezers are covered. Refrigerator ice makers, their operation, servicing and electrical circuits are explained. Room air conditioners are included in depth. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Appliance Technician (31- 445-1) program. ARCHT – Architectural Technology (Department: 614) ARCHT-101 Credits: 4 Architectural Theory and Drawing 1 This course introduces students to the architectural process and the basic skills required of the technician, such as architectural lettering, freehand sketching and reading architectural drawings. Students also are introduced to the computer as a tool to be used in architectural projects.

Architectural Theory and CADD 3 Students are expected to continue developing their skills in architectural design, detailing, sketching and computer applications. They will further explore the design process and be introduced to site planning, and architectural design and development principles. The emphasis in construction documentation, detailing and building information modeling will be on commercial construction systems, such as reinforced concrete and steel. Computer work will include expanded applications for CADD modeling and presentation programs. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-102. ARCHT-104 Credits: 5 Architectural Theory and CADD 4 Students are expected to use the knowledge gained in previous courses in the development of a design project of their own choosing and the associated construction documentation. Students will be expected to use the computer in the development of at least 75% of this fi nal project. Additional computer work will include integration and budgeting, estimating, and speci fi cation writing assignments in ARCHT-141 Architectural Practices and Procedures. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-103. ARCHT-105 Credits: 2 Architectural History This course o ff ers an introduction to the fi eld of architecture. An appreciation for architecture is developed through an overview of architectural history, and an analysis of architectural design and construction concepts that have been applied to buildings from the Egyptian period through the present time and into the future. ARCHT-107 Credits: 2 Building Estimating This course introduces the student to building estimating. It covers basic techniques, practices, procedures of “quantity takeo ff s” and calculating material and labor requirements for residential and commercial building construction. The course also reviews design, bidding and contract administration phases of a project including introductory aspects of project scheduling and construction management. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-102. ARCHT-109 Credits: 4 Architectural Theory and CADD 2 The second of four studio courses which make up the core of the Architectural Technology program. Students continue developing their skills in architectural drafting, sketching and 2D architectural computer applications. The early stages of the design process, use of architectural reference materials for research and presentations are covered. Universal design and energy responsive design are introduced
