ARE 4902 - Architectural Engineering Capstone II2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is the second of a two-course Architectural Engineering capstone design experience. Students continue to work on their multidisciplinary teams and produce programs and designs that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare. Students consider global, cultural, social, societal, environmental, and economic factors in their design. The team members work together to provide leadership within a collaborative and inclusive environment where they establish the goals of the project, plan tasks, and meet project objectives.
This course focuses on detailed engineering designs for the project from ARE 4901 - Capstone I. The students develop calculations, reports, drawings, and details in order to thoroughly convey the design to faculty and stakeholders. Knowledge and skills learned in prerequisite course work are integrated into this course. Students must effectively communicate their design intentions to stakeholders throughout the semester and defend their solutions to a panel of experienced design professionals at the end of the course.
The CAECM Capstone Handbook applies to this course, and the handbook provides full details for the student’s entry to and satisfactory completion of the course. (prereq: ARE 4901 , senior standing, cumulative and major GPA greater than or equal to 2.00) (coreq: concurrent enrollment in, or prior completion of, the “specialty elective” as required in the current Architectural Engineering curriculum)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Develop an entire project from conceptualization to final design, including design of architectural and engineering systems, construction feasibility, selection of methods of construction, schedule, budget, logistics and economics
- Utilize the student’s knowledge of his or her specialty area
- Develop advanced presentation and communication skills, building on the student’s basic skills learned from prior course work
- Integrate elements of sustainable design into the project
- Compare and contrast reasonable solutions and decide on the optimal solution
- Generate and facilitate work relationships with faculty and fellow students akin to those found in industry
- Successfully collaborate in a multidisciplinary, team-based environment
Prerequisites by Topic
- Design knowledge in the student’s specialty area
Course Topics
