EE354 Architecture
One trimester
Credit: One unit core elective credit.
Meeting pattern: Four periods per week including lab.
This course introduces students to the field of architecture. Students use industrystandard
software (Revit Architecture) to design buildings. Driven by hands-on
projects and activities, this course covers topics such as architectural history,
structural engineering, green building, project planning, site planning, building
design, and project documentation. The final project is the design of a house
for a client, giving students the opportunity to model the real-world experiences
of architects.
