Applied/Engineering Physics — PHY4217.01

Spring 2021
Instructor: Tim Schroeder
Credits: 4
This course applies the concepts of mechanical physics to practical engineering and environmental problems. Any structure, be it a building, a nuclear reactor, a dam, an embankment, or a natural hillside, must be able to withstand the stresses that are placed on it by its environment without failing in order to ensure people's safety. You will learn how forces cause stress

Architectural Analysis — ARC4157.01

Spring 2019
Instructor: Donald Sherefkin
Credits: 4
Students will select a critically significant building from the history of architecture. After careful research and documentation, a detailed analysis will be made, resulting in critical drawings, diagrams and both physical and digital models. A final project will then be formulated for a new project, generated from the discoveries that emerged through the analysis.
