Pre-Class Friday What do you think an architectural engineer does?

Architectural Engineering Blend of Civil and Mechanical Engineering majors with a focus on building projects

Architectural Engineering  Also known as Building Engineering  Focuses on the design and construction of safe, efficient, aesthetic, and economical buildings  Branch of ASCE (Civil Engineering)  AEI was established in 1998 (Recognized the need for a place to examine issues and exchange information).  Staring salary: $48,664 (architect: $41,012)  Average salary: ~$60,000 (architect: $73,650)

Cardstruction Engineering Procedures –Sketch a basic design for your foundation. –Sketch an overall design on your structure. –Build a structure of cards. Measurements –Stand for 60 seconds? –Number of cards used in height? –Number of cards used in support? –Dimensions for structure? Conclusions –What was your inspiration for your design? –Did you include any safety features? Explain. Objective: Design and construct the tallest, most stable structure of cards Materials: Playing cards

Pre-class Tuesday Architectural Engineering is a blend of _____ and _____ engineering fields.

Floorplanning a House Materials –House picture –Engineering Paper Procedures –Pick one of the following houses (4 to choose from). –Brainstorm and design the interior of each (specifications listed under each house picture). –Must follow sides of the house you can see in the picture (windows, doors, shapes, etc.)…be creative for unseen sides. –Use Solid Edge to construct a 2D floor plan Be specific in labeling it Submit to Edmodo Groups of 2 or 3 only

Homebuilders R U Objective –Construct a home from floor plans Materials –2 Manilla folders (1 piece of cardstock) –Tape –Scissors and X-acto knives Procedures –Select a floor plan (NOT your own). –Predict the amount of materials you need. –Construct a home to match those floor plans (include furniture). –Should look just like the picture!!! Conclusions –What was the biggest challenge in this activity? –Was the floor plan easy to follow? Why or why not?

New High School Objective –Design a new high school for Madison City School system Parameters –Accommodate 2,000 students –Make use of protected wetland area –Provide ample parking for school events –Allocate space in the building for all classes and other necessary areas (gym, auditorium, cafeteria, etc.)

Procedures Brainstorm what should be in the school. Design the building on the landscape. Sketch a rough 2D drawing. Use “paint” to make a 2D floor plan. PowerPoint presentation of your work
