ARCH 110 – Introduction to Computer Graphics in Architecture
2 Semester Credit Hours
Students in this course learn development of architectural graphic
concepts using microcomputer-based CADD (Computer Aided Design/Drafting)
systems.
COMM 221 – Small Group Decision Making
3 Semester Credit Hours
Decision making and problem-solving in small groups. Students participate
in groups and evaluate group functioning from the perspective of
small group communication concepts.
ECON 221 – Principles of Economics
3 Semester Credit Hours
Scope and meaning of economic principles basic to a free market
economy. Equilibrium price formation and the efficiency of resource
allocation in a market economy. National income accounting, determination
of equilibrium national, income, recession, and expansion. Government
policy toward economic fluctuation, unemployment and inflation.
The role of money and banking in recession and inflation.
HVAC 312 – HVAC Control Theory and Application
4 Semester Credit Hours
The study of control loop theory related to commercial and industrial
comfort, process and safety applications. The course focuses on
analog electronic and pneumatic control components and their systems
used in new and existing installations. Lab exercises concentrate
on control system operation and analysis.
HVAC 331 – HVAC Secondary Equipment Selection and Design
5 Semester Credit Hours
A study of water and air systems used in commercial and industrial
buildings. Course emphasizes system design, equipment and component
selection and selected problems and solutions. Instrumentation,
testing and balancing will be emphasized for optimum energy conservation
and maximum comfort.
HVAC 342 – HVAC Load Calculations and Energy Codes
3 Semester Credit Hours
An examination of the layout and design of energy efficient combination
systems (heating and cooling) found in commercial and industrial
buildings. Complete heat loss and heat gain calculations will be
performed both manually and through currently available computer
software. Energy estimating methods will be studied and an analysis
of an actual building conducted. State of the art equipment will
be selected for maximum energy efficiency. Current federal, state
and local codes and standards (as set forth by ASHRAE) will be examined
as they apply to HVAC systems.
HVAC 393 – Summer Internship
4 Semester Credit Hours
Work experience in commercial and industrial HVACR settings. Ten
weeks, minimum.
HVAC 415 – HVAC Digital Control Systems
4 Semester Credit Hours
The study of digital electronic control of HVAC mechanical systems
to maximize their operating efficiency in commercial and industrial
applications. The layout, programming and operation of the building
management systems are emphasized.
HVAC 451 – Energy Analysis and Audit
5 Semester Credit Hours
The survey of utility rate structures, billing energy consumption
and energy profiling of commercial and industrial buildings. On-site
audit projects will report on recommendations to building envelopes,
HVACR systems and control systems with regard to payback. Oral and
written presentations are required in this senior project course.
HVAC 462 – Primary HVAC Equipment Selection
4 Semester Credit Hours
The layout of state-of-the-art equipment and systems for commercial
and industrial buildings. Emphasis is placed upon appropriate alternate
energy sources with cost analysis and paybacks being performed.
HVAC 499 – System and Energy Analysis
5 Semester Credit Hours
Given building architectural plans, appropriate software, codes
and standards and owner's requirements, students will select
appropriate HVAC systems, conduct economic analysis, design systems
and produce working drawings, specifications and control sequences
for evaluation.
ISYS 204 – Basic Programming
3 Semester Credit Hours
Basic programming language interwoven with logical problem solving
and related computer concepts, in which basic can be used to solve
varying types and complexities of problems.
