Pre-requisite Building Science (BLDG 365/6611).
Objective This course covers the basic chemistry and physics of fires and theoretical
background of enclosure fire dynamics for senior undergraduate students and graduate
students. The objectives are to expose to these students fire dynamics, analytical and
numerical methods to estimate energy release rate of a fire, mass flow rates and
temperatures of fire plumes, pressure profiles, fire smoke flows through building
openings, heat transfer due to fires in building enclosures, fire smoke filling and
controlling, and fire combustion products. Students will be able to use analytical
methods and computer models for the designs and analysis of fire and smoke control
systems in buildings.

Rights and Responsibilities
Plagarism
The most common offense under the Academic Code of Conduct is plagiarism which
the Code defines as “the presentation of the work of another person as one’s own or
without proper acknowledgement.”
This could be material copied word for word from books, journals, internet sites,
professor’s course notes, etc. It could be material that is paraphrased but closely
resembles the original source. It could be the work of a fellow student, for example,
an answer on a quiz, data for a lab report, a paper or assignment completed by another
student. It might be a paper purchased through one of the many available sources.
Plagiarism does not refer to words alone - it can also refer to copying images, graphs,
tables, and ideas. “Presentation” is not limited to written work. It also includes oral
presentations, computer assignments and artistic works. Finally, if you translate the
work of another person into French or English and do not cite the source, this is also
plagiarism.
In Simple Words:
Do not copy, paraphrase or translate anything from anywhere without saying from
where you obtained it!
