ARE 4902 - Architectural Engineering Capstone2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is a culminating architectural engineering design course. Students work in 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. 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 coursework 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.
Prereq: Senior standing, cumulative and major GPA greater than or equal to 2.00, successful completion of the four required “principles” courses (ARE 3101 , ARE 3401 , CAE 3501 , and CON 3001 ), successful completion of the following design courses by specialty:
BES (Building electrical and power systems): ARE 3161 , and ARE 3121 or ARE 3151
BMS (Building mechanical systems): ARE 3451 , and ARE 3441 or ARE 3461
BSS (Building structural systems): CAE 3512 , CAE 3521 and CAE 3561
or approval from the Department Chair
Coreq: Concurrent enrollment in, or prior completion of, the “specialty design courses” as required in the current Architectural Engineering curriculum
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:
- 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 for specific stakeholders
- Generate and facilitate work relationships with faculty and fellow students akin to those found in industry
- Successfully collaborate in a multidisciplinary, team-based environment
- Demonstrate the MSOE Mindset by applying curiosity, connecting prior learning, and creating value for stakeholders in design solutions
Prerequisites by Topic
- Design knowledge in the student’s specialty area
Course Topics
(Subject to change based on the current year’s project):
- Finalization of architectural design development drawings
- Analysis and calculations for all engineered systems
- Finalization of engineering design development drawings
- Presentations to building code officials, clients, and other professionals
