Course #: 496421, SCED - 21934: This capstone design and build course expands students understanding of the design and building process in student developed capstone projects.
Essential Concepts
Utilize advanced CAD skills
Read, design, and develop technical drawings, plans, and electrical schematics.
Demonstrate the use of design principles
Develop a portfolio to include: one story housing plans, carbon footprint, and energy audit
Document the design-build-maintain process
Safely select and utilize appropriate materials, tools and equipment
Design utilizing Building Information Modeling
Develop the supporting documents for a large scale project
Analyze a structure or product to determine the need for modifications, repairs, or redesigns
