The objective of this course is to provide a capstone design experience in Architectural Engineering. The objective will be met through the complete and integrated engineering design of a modest commercial building. The building design process will be followed through conceptual design, schematic design, and design development. Students will work in small teams with members working on all aspects of architectural engineering design, including structural, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and construction management. Students will also evaluate the architectural design in the context of life safety and acoustic considerations. Final submissions will be professional-quality design documents.
