Course Syllabus in BUILDING SYSTEMS DESIGN

VISION

An institution with a culture of excellence in developing globally competitive and values-oriented leaders and
professionals.

MISSON

The Sorsogon State College is committed to provide industry-relevant programs that are anchored on a culture
of research and entrepreneurship for the development of Sorsogon and beyond.

GOALS OF THE PROGRAM

The SSC Engineering and Architecture Programs aim to promote quality instruction, training and ICT
applications in various areas of engineering and architecture, promote research extension, production inculcate
gender sensitivity, desirable attitudes and vales, strengthen linkages, establish and implement development
programs in support to provincial, regional, national and global thrusts.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Civil Engineering is a profession that applies the basic principles of science in conjunction with
mathematical and computational tools to solve problems associated with developing and sustaining civilized
life on our planet. Civil Engineering works are generally one-of-a-kind projects, they are often grand in scale;
and they usually require cooperation among professionals of many different disciplines. The completion of civil
engineering project involves the solution of technical problems in which information from numerous sources
and myriad non-technical factors play a significant role. Some of the most common examples of civil
engineering works include bridges, buildings, dams, airports and hangars, port and harbors, highways and
railways, tunnels, river and shore improvements, lighthouses, dry docks, irrigations, flood protection, drainage,
water supply and towers. Enumeration of any work in this section shall not be construed as excluding any other
work requiring civil engineering knowledge and application.

It is one of the broadest engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within
its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve those problems.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The objective of the Civil Engineering undergraduate program at the Sorsogon State College is to produce
engineers that:

1. Are able to design safe, sustainable, economical and environmentally sound solutions for civil engineering
problems;

2. Grow professionally in their careers through continued development of technical, management, and oral and
written communication skills; achievement of professional licensure; and assumption of roles of responsibility
and leadership in professional service;

3. Achieve their professional aims ethically and with cultural competency within an environment characterized
by the diverse needs of society and the profession.

COURSE SYLLABUS

1. Course Code CE 314

2. Course Title BUILDING SYSTEMS DESIGN
3. Pre-requisite ENGINEERING DRAWING AND PLANS
4. Credit/Class Schedule 3 units / 5 hours per week (2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory)
5. Term 1st Semester / SY 2020 - 2021
6. Consultation Time Wednesdays
7. Course Description Building construction is examined from the standpoint of life safety
(including fire safety and zoning constraints on site planning); architectural and building service systems
(plumbing, electrical, vertical transportation, security, fire protection); materials, sustainability, and life-
cycle analysis; accessibility; technical documentation and outline specifications; building enclosure
systems; and interior finish systems.
The lecture course will focus on developing knowledge of building
systems, including architectural design, building materials and construction techniques, and will foster the
skills required to adopt a building systems approach compliant to the National Building Code and its
referral code. The student’s developed knowledge of building systems will also include understanding of
different types and applications of building materials and diverse construction techniques. Sustainability
principles’ impact on the property lifecycle and how these will integrate and apply to skills and knowledge
to industry based case studies will also be examined. The course will include at least one site visit to an
operating building in the locality.
The laboratory class will focus on the tools and techniques to
create a computer generated building model, and applied tools for working with computer mod exploring
output and simulation. Student will develop techniques looking at both realistic and schematic
representation, and the integration of building systems modeling as a tool to inform and enhance the
design process.
