AE 100 - Introduction to Architectural Engineering and Construction Management2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is an interdepartmental, team-taught course. The following topics are presented from the CAECM Department: an overview of the architectural engineering and construction management programs and five-year and dual degrees; career paths in architectural engineering and construction management; and the constructor’s role and the design process in architecture, structural, environmental and electrical systems engineering. An architectural conceptual design project is completed by a team of students and the design process is discussed. Presentations of student projects are required in the various phases of completion. The students also learn team building skills and relationships in this team project. The General Studies Department faculty introduce topics to develop the students’ academic, personal and interpersonal skills that help in college and create a sense of campus involvement. The oral presentation and written expression skills are enhanced with class participation and feedback. (prereq: none)
