Description

An introduction to the technology of computing and information technology as it pertains to the disciplines of the built environment. The computer is presented as a tool for storing and manipulating information by means of application programs which model the real world needs and activities of professionals in these disciplines. Topics include basic operation of a computer, information handling, networks and communications, computer graphics, CAD technology and computational processes. Students engage in weekly hands-on computer exercises to provide knowledge and experience in the use of applications commonly used in their own discipline. Assessment is based on participation in the hands-on work, some written assignments and tests.
