Program Description
Provides hands-on technical skills required in workplaces through computer- and laboratory-based practice. 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 required math courses ease the transfer of students to a 4-year institute for completion of a Bachelor of Engineering Technology.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Apply standard methods of mathematical analysis.
- Develop knowledge of career opportunities and demonstrate the technical skills required by industry.
- Demonstrate professional ethics appropriate to the field of engineering technology.
- Prepare a series of construction documents utilizing current industry software and accepted architectural standards and techniques.
- Develop a series of design presentation drawings utilizing traditional and computerized techniques.
- Architectural CAD Technician
- Construction Services Technician
