TEC 5410 - Integrated Design Studio (6)

When Offered: On Demand
In this course, students will participate as members of a multidisciplinary design team with a goal of generating comprehensive plans for low-impact, high-performance buildings. The integrated design studio setting will emphasize the ways in which design and construction are intertwined by focusing on “buildable” designing, planning, and estimating using building information modeling (BIM). Emphasis will also be placed on incorporation of energy efficiency strategies, renewable energy systems, and alternative construction systems. In addition, students will employ design innovation and research strategies, with a goal of creating unique systems that might result in development of intellectual property. Studio eight hours.
