AREN 4317 - Architectural Engineering Design
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018
Provides a capstone experience to AREN students. Students design a modest commercial building and complete an integrated engineering design of the building systems executed for the conceptual, schematic, and design development phases. Students' teams work on structural, mechanical, electrical/lighting, and construction engineering management design. Each stage produce a professional-quality design document. Faculty and industry mentors participate in the teaching and evaluation of designs.

Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018 / Spring 2020
Supervised study of special topics of interest to students under instructor guidance. May be repeated up to 12 total credit hours. Department consent required.
AREN 5020 - Building Energy Audits
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019
Analyzes and measures performance of HVAC systems, envelopes, lighting and hot water systems, and modifications to reduce energy use. Emphasizes existing buildings. Recommended prerequisite: AREN 3010.
AREN 5060 - Distributed Electricity Generation
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2020
Introduces basic distributed generation (DG) technologies including fuel-based systems and renewable energy technologies and overview approaches to conduct energy, economical, and environmental analysis of selected DG technologies using state-of-the-art analysis tools to evaluate optimal hybrid distributed generation systems to meet required electrical loads specific to urban centers, campuses, and residential communities.
