This course offers a broad introduction to the literatures of Portugal, Brazil, and Portuguese-speaking Africa, through a diverse selection of texts by female writers from the 20th and 21st centuries. This course will examine the differing strategies deployed by female-authored fiction, poetry, autobiography, and essay as they negotiate genre and gender, and issues affecting feminism, social relations, and psychological discourses.

Wood and Masonry Structures focuses on the analysis and design of wood and masonry components and subassemblies used in low- rise residential and commercial buildings. The course emphasizes the application of current design specifications and codes to ensure structural safety and performance. Students develop practical skills in designing beams, columns, walls, and connections using wood and masonry materials.

In this course students draw on the wood or linoleum block, in which all of the background areas are cut away.This course has an M&T Fee. For more info visit: http://qc.cuny.edu/?id=JU9F

May be repeated for a maximum of six credits with permission of the department. Special Projects courses are designed for students who want more intensive work in any studio discipline, or to strengthen or advance their basic skills in woodcut.This course has an M&T Fee.

Emphasis is on filling, rubbing, spraying, and building up finishes. Upon course completion, students should be able to perform woodfinishing procedures.

This course is a continuation of CAB 140. Emphasis is on filling, rubbing, spraying, and building up finishes. Upon course completion, students should be able to perform wood finishing procedures.

This is an introductory wood finishing course. Topics include sanding, filling, staining, brushing and spraying. Upon course completion, students should be able to perform basic wood finishing procedures.

This course is a study of materials and methods of wood frame construction load-bearing structural design elements. Instruction is given in the correct use handling, equipment, and application. Laboratory experiences include design found in residential construction. (2-2).

A study of the physical and chemical composition of wood and the products derived from wood.

Wood Structural Design introduces modern timber engineering principles for the analysis and design of wood structural systems. The course covers the behavior and design of beams, columns, trusses, and floor systems, with emphasis on material properties, load resistance, and code-based design procedures. Students learn to apply current design standards and engineering judgment to timber structures.
