 UPPER DIVISION COURSES
 AE. 301-302-303-304-305.-Projects in Architecture, Group 1. 3 hours
conference, 30 hours studio work. 3 credits each; group total, 15 credits. Pre-
requisite: Completion of Lower Division program in Architecture or equivalent.
This series of courses constitutes the beginning work in the Upper Division.
Offered 1, 2, 3.
 The planning and design of buildings of the type encountered in contemporary
practice and a study of the architectural and structural problems involved. Criticisms
are given individually, and the solutions are in the form of preliminary studies, plastic
models, drawings, computations, and research reports.
 DESIGN: Architectural design with emphasis on the creation of buildings to meet
the requirements of use; research; aesthetic, functional, and structural analysis; pre-
liminary studies; models; and design drawings.
 DELINEATION: Delineation of architectural subjects. Pencil technique; value,
form, and composition; color theory; perspective.
 HISTORY: A study of the architecture of the various cultures from primitive times
through the Roman period along with Islamic and Pre-Columbian architecture.
 CONSTRUCTION: Study of materials used in the construction of buildings;
selection and use of materials; methods of construction.
 STRUCTURES: Structural design as a correlated part of the planning and de-
sign of buildings; strength of materials; theories of flexure, shear and deflection; design
of wood and steel framing.
