a plot and determining levels; field work will be used to learn the use of surveying
equipment.
Prerequisites: ARC 112, MAT 111 or permission of instructor.
ARC 215-Structural Analysis I 3 Sem.-Hrs.
The basic principles of Mechanics, Strength of Materials, and Theory of Structures
relevant specifically to architectural design. Forces, moments, resultants, equilibrium
conditions of force systems; the basics of stress-strain relationships, interpretations
of physical test data, applications in the design of beams and columns.
Prerequisites: MAT 111, PHY 121, ARC 114 or permission of instructor.
ARC 216-Structural Analysis II 3 Sem.-Hrs.
Includes the study of the stresses and strains that occur in bodies; stresses in
riveted and welded joints, shear and bending diagrams, investigation and design
of beams and deflection of beams; investigation of the design of simple steel and
concrete beams; the digital computer is used as an aid in the solution of selected
problems.
Prerequisites: ARC 112 and 215 or permission of instructor.
ARC 217-Architectural Rendering 1 Lect., 2 Lab., 2 Sem.-Hrs.
The basic techniques of drawing and sketching; perspective drawing and the
use of shade and shadow in architectural presentation will be studied. The methods
of presentation using various media such as pen and ink, pencil, air brush,
computer, and colored pencil will also be studied.
Prerequisite: ARC 112 or permission of instructor.
ARC 219-Estimating and Architectural Practice 1 Lect., 2 Lab., 2 Sem.-Hrs.
The study of building cost estimating, from an architectural viewpoint. The use
of contract documents in architecture; the relationship between the owner, architect
and contractor; and the operation and coordination of the architectural firm.
Prerequisites: ARC 112, ARC 114 or permission of instructor.
ARC 226-Architectural Drafting II – Working Drawings for
Commercial Construction 1 Lect., 4 Lab., 3 Sem.-Hrs.
