Course Objectives To introduce students to the building construction process.\nto introduce students to the architectural engineering aspects in building design. To define the role of architect in architectural engineering design and applications.To teach terminology of building materials, components, and systems. To provide interaction with construction industry resources.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to design basic types of building enclosure
  • will be able to apply thermal insulation and waterproofing solutions in building design.
  • will be able to follow the stages of basic building construction,
  • will be able to classify materials used on building surfaces
  • will be able to read and write basic construction drawings
  • will be able to gather information from suppliers and manufactures within the construction sector.
Course Description This course builds on knowledge from previous semester on structural systems and focuses on nonstructural building components and systems. The emphasis is on application rather than theory, with most work done in the studio.
