My Courses

MAT1575 Calculus II Workshop, Winter 2023

MAT1575 Calculus II Workshop, Winter 2023

This a pre-semester workshop and a continuation of MAT 1475. Topics include techniques of integration, but may include areas, volumes, and a reintroduction to convergent sequences and series and tests for convergence. Over the course of the semester, students will also learn Taylor polynomials, Mean Value Theorem, Taylor and Maclaurin series, improper integrals, and arclengths.

ARCH1231BuildingTechnology,SP2021

ARCH1231BuildingTechnology,SP2021

An introduction to basic materials of construction and the fundamental principals of hand drafting and system analysis. The coursework includes surveying existing conditions, development of plans, elevations, and sections, and basic details as well as the study of material properties and applications.

ARCH 1101 Introduction to Architecture | Fall 2020

ARCH 1101 Introduction to Architecture | Fall 2020

The Introduction to Architecture provides the foundations for a “visual literacy” of the built environment. Using New York City as a living laboratory, students explore concepts of design, composition, and construction in the context of the city through their direct experience of buildings. By practicing the basic skills of drafting, sketching, and reading about buildings, and with the opportunity to present their understandings to others through written assignments and verbal presentations, students will develop methods of representing and presenting architecture verbally and graphically.

My Clubs

Architecture Club

Architecture Club

For over 30 years the Architecture Club has been one of the most influential clubs on City Tech’s campus. Each semester students and club members’ gain valuable knowledge from speakers who are invited to come and share their architectural experiences with the club. However, class lectures are no substitute for the personal, eye opening experiences that a field trip can bring.
