Architectural Design

Catalog description

This course is part of a two-course Architectural Engineering capstone design experience. Students form 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 preliminary architectural and engineering design tasks and objectives. The students develop a program related to the client’s building and design goals and requirements. Knowledge and skills learned in prerequisite course work will be integrated into this course. Students must effectively communicate their design intentions to stakeholders throughout the semester and during the culminating design presentations at the end of the semester.
