1 Pre-Class Friday 5-10-13 What do you think an architectural engineer does?

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

3 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)

4 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

5 Pre-Class Monday 5-13-13 In a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of randomly drawing any:52 cards Red card Face card 2 card Assume each card drawn is replaced before the next one is drawn. 1/2 3/13 1/13

6 Focus Areas Structural integrity of buildings Design and analysis of: –Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems –Plumbing, fire protection, and electrical systems –Acoustic and lighting planning Energy conservation issues (“green building” or “sustained building”)

7 Green Building Green Building Finding ways to build with recycled items such as old tires, which make a great waterproof building material. Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) to replace traditional lumber, engineered for strength and against bowing and warpingLSL Geothermal Heat Pumps: moving energy into and out of water through a system of pipes in your yardGeothermal Heat Pumps

8 Hydrogen for Sustained Building

9 Floorplan (schematic of a building)

10 Pre-class Tuesday 5-14-13 Architectural Engineering is a blend of _____ and _____ engineering fields.

11 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

12 Designer Home 1 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, game room, kitchen, utility room, carport, great room, dining room

13 Designer Home 2 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, bonus room, kitchen, utility room, garage, living room

14 Designer Home 3 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen, utility room, car port, family room

15 Designer Home 4 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, bonus room, kitchen, utility room, living room, dining room

16 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?

17 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.)

18 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

19 Designing a New School This one is too small, so what should the new one look like.

20 Pre-Class Thursday 5-19-11 About _____ trees are cut down each year to make enough bats for 1 season of baseball. Only __% are considered or used for MLB, while the others are used for the minor league, promotional bats, and hockey sticks. Each player will use _____ bats per season. By hand, a bat can be made in ___ hours, while today a computerized machine takes __ seconds. Each week, nearly ___ tons of sawdust are left over and recycled to nearby farms. 40,00010100-1206-83025
