Build­ing de­sign and con­struc­tion must an­tic­i­pate an in­flux of smart ma­te­ri­als which re­spond more acutely to en­vi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions and lim­i­ta­tions. This course syn­the­sizes re­search in ma­te­ri­als sci­ence with the lat­est tech­nolo­gies for tool­ing and mea­sur­ing per­for­mance within the built en­vi­ron­ment. Ma­te­ri­als to be re­searched and de­vel­oped may in­clude glass, ce­ram­ics, plas­tics and poly­mers, nat­ural fibers and metal al­loys. Stu­dents re­search ma­te­ri­als with a par­tic­u­lar focus on se­lec­tion, sourc­ing, pro­cess­ing and as­sem­blage.

Building design and construction must anticipate an influx of smart materials which respond more acutely to environmental conditions and limitations. This course synthesizes research in materials science with the latest technologies for tooling and measuring performance within the built environment. Materials to be researched and developed may include glass, ceramics, plastics and polymers, natural fibers and metal alloys. Students research materials with a particular focus on selection, sourcing, processing and assemblage.

This spe­cial top­ics course of­fers an in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary ap­proach to in­ves­ti­gat­ing our built en­vi­ron­ment using a case study fo­cused on a spe­cific place each se­mes­ter. This course com­bines phys­i­cal ex­am­i­na­tion with in­for­ma­tion re­search and data col­lec­tion using method­olo­gies de­vel­oped in mul­ti­ple dis­ci­plines. Stu­dents from a va­ri­ety of de­part­ments en­gage in on-site ex­plo­ration and in-depth re­search of a lo­ca­tion in New York City.

This special topics course offers an interdisciplinary approach to investigating our built environment using a case study focused on a specific place each semester. This course combines physical examination with information research and data collection using methodologies developed in multiple disciplines. Students from a variety of departments engage in on-site exploration and in-depth research of a location in New York City.

City Tech’s ENG 1101 course pre­pares you for the kinds of com­mu­ni­ca­tion, re­search, and lit­er­acy that you will use through­out your aca­d­e­mic and pro­fes­sional ca­reers. Fur­ther­more, it de­vel­ops stu­dents’ un­der­stand­ing, ap­pli­ca­tion, and crit­i­cal aware­ness of two big ideas: 1) Com­mu­ni­ca­tion is rhetor­i­cal, and 2) Com­mu­ni­ca­tion is mul­ti­modal, or WOVEN (writ­ten, oral, vi­sual, elec­tronic, and non­ver­bal). Through a se­ries of process-dri­ven pro­jects, some of which are in­di­vid­u­ally based and oth­ers col­lab­o­ra­tive, you will gain a deeper un­der­stand­ing of ef­fec­tive and per­sua­sive com­mu­ni­ca­tion tech­niques while de­vel­op­ing your crit­i­cal think­ing skills and mul­ti­ple lit­era­cies. Each ENG 1101 class is unique, be­cause while each one has the same basic out­comes, each is taught by an in­struc­tor with his or her own re­search and ped­a­gog­i­cal ap­proach. In our class, we will use the in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary field of the neu­ro­sciences as a way to focus our con­ver­sa­tions and pro­jects. Of course, com­mu­ni­ca­tion is about the trans­fer­ence of in­for­ma­tion via the senses and processed by each au­di­ence mem­ber’s brain. In ad­di­tion, the brain and its em­bod­ied per­cep­tion sys­tems de­fine how we are most re­cep­tive to re­ceiv­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tions, think­ing about com­mu­ni­ca­tions, and being per­suaded by com­mu­ni­ca­tions. If we un­der­stand how the brain/body works, we can apply this knowl­edge to being more ef­fec­tive com­mu­ni­ca­tors and suc­cess­ful pro­fes­sion­als.

City Tech’s ENG 1101 course prepares you for the kinds of communication, research, and literacy that you will use throughout your academic and professional careers. Furthermore, it develops students’ understanding, application, and critical awareness of two big ideas: 1) Communication is rhetorical, and 2) Communication is multimodal, or WOVEN (written, oral, visual, electronic, and nonverbal). Through a series of process-driven projects, some of which are individually based and others collaborative, you will gain a deeper understanding of effective and persuasive communication techniques while developing your critical thinking skills and multiple literacies. Each ENG 1101 class is unique, because while each one has the same basic outcomes, each is taught by an instructor with his or her own research and pedagogical approach. In our class, we will use the interdisciplinary field of the neurosciences as a way to focus our conversations and projects. Of course, communication is about the transference of information via the senses and processed by each audience member’s brain. In addition, the brain and its embodied perception systems define how we are most receptive to receiving communications, thinking about communications, and being persuaded by communications. If we understand how the brain/body works, we can apply this knowledge to being more effective communicators and successful professionals.

This course stud­ies the de­vel­op­ment of build­ing sys­tems as they occur dur­ing the de­sign de­vel­op­ment phase of ar­chi­tec­ture. Using case study re­search meth­ods, stu­dents an­a­lyze fac­tors, such as build­ing as­sem­blies and sys­tems, codes and gov­ern­ment reg­u­la­tions, human er­gonom­ics, and sus­tain­abil­ity, which af­fect build­ing con­struc­tion and use. Their so­lu­tions to these is­sues are in­te­grated into their final build­ing de­sign so­lu­tions. The stu­dent cre­ates a se­ries of re­ports and a set of con­struc­tion draw­ings using both ana­log meth­ods (hand sketch­ing and draw­ing) and dig­i­tal tools in­clud­ing tra­di­tional CAD soft­ware and Build­ing In­for­ma­tion Mod­el­ing tech­niques.

This course studies the development of building systems as they occur during the design development phase of architecture. Using case study research methods, students analyze factors, such as building assemblies and systems, codes and government regulations, human ergonomics, and sustainability, which affect building construction and use. Their solutions to these issues are integrated into their final building design solutions. The student creates a series of reports and a set of construction drawings using both analog methods (hand sketching and drawing) and digital tools including traditional CAD software and Building Information Modeling techniques.
