ARCHT – AUTO1

ART–Art (Department 815) ART-201 Credits: 3 Understanding Art This is a survey course with emphasis upon painting, sculpture and architecture. Major topics include art forms and styles, contributions and achievements of periods in the development of Western art and world art styles. ART-202 Credits: 3 Renaissance-Modern Art and Architecture This art history class will survey art making through its historical, religious, social and political contexts in Western civilization from the Renaissance period (c. 1400 AD) through the Modern Age. Major focus will be placed on how cultural and religious values during the historical periods under study are re fl ected in art and the artistic signi fi cance of the art of these periods to our considerations of art and culture today. ART-203 Credits: 3 Ancient to Medieval Art and Architecture This art history class will survey art making through its historical, social, religious and political contexts in Western civilization from the Prehistoric period through the Middle Ages. Major focus will be placed on how cultural and religious values during the historical periods under study are re fl ected in art and the cultural signi fi cance of the art of these periods to our considerations of art and culture today. ART-204 Credits: 3 Drawing From Observation The goal of this course is to explore the process of drawing as a way of seeing, investigating and experiencing. The student learns to use line, shape, value, texture, space, proportion and composition while at the same time striving for increased eye-hand coordination. The course places primary emphasis on depicting forms in space through the observational drawing of objects and self-portraits. While experimentation and imaginative problem-solving are important and essential aspects of the course, the main thrust of the course is analytical seeing and drawing while using a variety of black-and-white media. AUDIO – Audio Production (Department 701) AUDIO-100 Credits: 1 Introduction to Audio Software Introduction to Audio Software is a lab introducing the basics of software programs: Finale, Logic and Pro Tools in music composition, music production and audio recording focusing on the recording and manipulating midi and audio. AUDIO-102 Credits: 3 Techniques of Sound Recording Studio recording is the focus of this course. The increasing use of electronic amplifying/ recording equipment in the fi eld of music necessitates that the musician have basic

aswell 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-109. ARCHT-132 Credits: 2 Mechanical and Environmental Systems 2 A course designed to teach students the basic concepts of plumbing, electrical illumination, fi re protection and acoustical systems as they pertain to human comfort and safety in buildings. The student will develop the ability to produce architectural/mechanical drawings and to perform initial calculations for sizing water supply systems, electrical systems and lighting layouts. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-103 and ARCHT-131. ARCHT-141 Credits: 2 Architectural Practices and Procedures This course introduces students to the practice of architecture. It reviews in some detail the AIA documents and procedures used in the design and construction of buildings as they proceed through an architectural of fi ce, from initial design concept, to construction documentation, to fi nal construction. The possible roles the architectural technician may play in this process are explored. Prerequisite(s): Complete Introduction to Revit This course introduces the student to 3D computer drafting and BIM (Building Information Modeling) using Revit software. It builds on students’ base knowledge of industry standard working drawings and construction materials as the basis for developing Revit models. The student will learn how to construct parametric drawings for a building or structure; including Plans, Elevations, and Sections, as well as Axonometric views. Annotation strategies, such as dimensioning and text, will also be covered. Employing title block templates and sheet composition, students will prepare industry-standard drawing sets for presentation. Prerequisite(s): Complete ARCHT-101, CIVIL-102 or INDSGN-102. ARCHT-103. ARCHT-150 Credits: 2

ARCHT-107

Credits: 2

Building Estimating This course introduces the student to building estimating. It covers basic techniques, practices, procedures of “quantity takeoffs” 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-109. ARCHT-110 Credits: 2 Computer Applications for Architecture This computer applications course is designed to provide students with word processing, spreadsheet, 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-112 Credits: 4 Architectural Theory and CADD 2 The second of four studio courses that 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 with emphasis on wood and masonry construction. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Architectural Technology program (10-614-1). Complete ARCHT-101. 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,
