EXPEDITED COURSE PROPOSALS
Graduate Courses
Effective Date: Fall 2012
From: ARE 724 Advanced Sanitation Systems
(3) I. Water quality and treatment,
pressure control, and hydraulics in
domestic water and waste systems.
Three hours recitation a week. Pr.: ARE
536 or CNS 536.
To: ARE 736. Advanced Plumbing Design (3)
I. Design and application of domestic water and
waste systems, storm water systems, fuel gas
systems, medical gas systems and fire protections
systems. Three hours recitation a week. Pr.: ARE
536 or CNS 536
Rationale: This is an administrative change
changing the name and updating the scope of the
course. Name change brings the course name and
numbering in line with ARE 734 Advanced
Mechanical Systems Design and ARE 731
Advanced Lighting.
Impact:

specifications, testing and construction
methods. The design of unreinforced and
reinforced masonry structures according to
applicable building codes. Three hours
recitation a week. Pr.: ARE 528 or
equivalent first course in reinforced
concrete design.
Rationale: Course renumbering coordination
within the department offerings.
Impact: None
