Program Description

Description

Provides hands-on technical skills required in workplaces through computer- and laboratory-based practice, and a core of related courses such as physics, mathematical applications, and introduction to engineering. Teaches architectural CAD/drafting and building construction methods and materials. Laboratory classes provide students with experience in construction materials, computer-aided drafting and design, cost estimating, construction methods, presentation techniques, and construction practices. Covers the principles and necessary skills of the architectural profession supported by an understanding of building construction through laboratory activities designed to provide students with a practical skill-based education. The math and physics courses ease the transfer of students to a 4-year institute for completion of a Bachelor of Engineering Technology.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:

  1. Describe the theories and principles of physics in the areas of mechanics.
  2. Apply standard methods of mathematical analysis including Trigonometry or Statistics, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra.
