Formerly:  CONS 80C

Catalog Description:

The development of working drawings for a complex non-residential building from preliminary data generated by student, including site analysis and site development, programming and adjacency diagrams, building planning, preliminary design, design development, and production of working drawings to meet Building Code requirements. Students will select appropriate structural system and other building materials, develop construction connections and details, and demonstrate the problem-solving skills needed to assess, analyze and solve common construction problems.  Structural systems may vary each time the course is offered.  Title 24, Building Code and zoning ordinance compliance will be included.  Freehand and instrument or CAD drafting will be used.

Prerequisites/Corequisites:
Course Completion of ARCH 81 ( or CONS 80B) and Course Completion of ARCH 83 ( or CONS 83)

Recommended Preparation:
Eligibility for ENGL 100 or ESL 100

COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:

1. Develop preliminary drawings using freehand drafting skills.

2.  Generate, research and analyze site data and prepare site planning

   documents.

3.  Generate, research and analyze passive solar design requirements and

   apply to building design.

4.  Generate, research and analyze client needs data and prepare

   programming documents and adjacency diagrams.

5.  Research and analyze complex structural system and finish materials

   options, leading to choice of system and materials to be used in

   preliminary design decisions.

6.  Analyze structural system and complex building configuration and

   develop appropriate details that meet Code requirements.

7.  Solve foundation related problems through the development of

   foundation details.

8.  Solve complex roof related design problems through the development of

   roof details.

9.  Identify other problems and develop needed details.

10. Create the final working drawings that meet Code requirements using

   instrument or CAD drafting skills.

11. Demonstrate understanding of Code by completing Title 24 documents and

   plan checking of drawings.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 20 - 35%
Prelim and final working drawings; Title 24 docs.
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 50 - 65%
Class performances, Project - working drawings
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 15 - 30%
Multiple choice, True/false, Matching items, Completion, Problem solving and drawings.
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 10%
