ARE 3121 - Design of Communication and Life Safety Systems3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits Course Description Students will learn about various low voltage systems and how they function in typical building applications. Data networks, telephone, signaling, multimedia, security, and fire alarm along with the supporting equipment will be studied. Emphasis will be on viewing each low voltage modality as a fully functional system. Practice in specifying and laying out building low voltage systems will cumulate in a final project. Relevant codes and standards will be referenced and integrated into design work. Topics include communication systems, data networks, signaling, multimedia (A/V, videoconferencing), security, fire alarm, monitoring, building automation systems. Prereq: ARE 3101 (quarter system prereq: AE 3601) Note: None This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Design the various low voltage systems and cabling which are regularly encountered in the design and building construction industry
- Facilitate, properly coordinate and implement low voltage systems in a building
- Apply knowledge of codes and standards as they relate to the design of low voltage systems such as fire alarm, telecommunications, and nurse call for the protection of human life and physical wellbeing
