Philosophy of research in architecture, research design, data gathering and interpretation, and thesis preparation. This body of work will seamlessly transfer into ARCH 485 THESIS (DESIGN) and be an instrumental component of the culmination of the final degree studio project.

This course introduces the learner to Fabrication techniques used in the welding industry including: planning/organizing, math, cutting/processing material, fit-up techniques and finish techniques.

A study of the growth and development of adolescence with a focus on biological, cognitive, social-emotional, and cultural factors that impact development from puberty to emerging adulthood.

This class reviews the fundamentals of urban design theory and invites students to apply these theories to neighborhood design. Additionally, the course surveys major historical and contemporary trends in urban design theory and practice and introduces contemporary theories on the future drivers of change affecting the development and functioning of urban regions.

The course is a continuation into the study of manufacturing simulation models in context of Industry 4.0. Emphasis will be placed on the role of computers in the practice of simulation modeling for decision making. Students will use data driven analysis to analyze potential issues regarding product flow, production throughput, and product manufacturability.

This course provides an in-depth look into the design and operation of a production process. Students will evaluate central control systems and the theoretical basics of production planning and control. Classical lean methods for process analysis will be presented along with hands-on analysis of the data collected by a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) control system for the Cyber-Physical Factory.

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles and practices of industrial quality control. Total Quality Management (TQM), LEAN Manufacturing, Acceptance Sampling Systems, and Continual Improvement are discussed in depth. This course satisfies 24 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded human relations curriculum requirements and also satisfies 15 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded math curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A.

The course is a continuation of ELM 134 and will provide students a more in-depth knowledge of programmable logic controllers (PLC's) and programming functions. The course is designed to provide the student with advanced PLC functions used for data manipulation using the two leading PLC operating systems and software; Rockwell and Siemens.
