Computer Aided Drafting & Design
- Architectural Drafting Major
The Architectural Drafting major of the Computer Aided Drafting &
Design technology program gives students a strong foundation in architectural
drafting and design concepts.
By learning manual detailing, 2-D, and 3-D computer aided drafting skills; graduates will be able to visually communicate ideas in a variety of drawing styles. The program is further enhanced with the creation of physical models that reinforce concepts in the construction methods and materials used in the building industry.
Students will take architectural courses in:
- Manual drafting
- 2-D and 3-D CAD drafting
- Construction methods and materials
- Architectural working drawings
Engineering technology course work in statics and strength of materials
will be taken to solidify the physical science aspects of the construction
industry. General course work in communications, writing, math and speech
will enable students to become productive employees, problem solvers and
successful CAD operators in today’s challenging architectural environment.
