The Architectural, Engineering and CAD Technologies program is designed to prepare students for immediate employment as architectural or engineering drawing technicians. Some students, however, also use the program to prepare for employment in building construction, interior design drawing, construction supervision, and various other fields. Still other students use the program as a step on the way to a bachelor’s degree in architecture or engineering.
The emphasis in the program is on AutoCAD and other technical drawing software in the creation of construction drawings. An Authorized Autodesk Training Center is offered in conjunction with the program and provides nationally standardized, non-credit training in Autodesk products such as AutoCAD, 3D Studio VIZ, and others.
The program leads to the Associate in Science degree. There is also a Certificate of Achievement available for students desiring or needing only the courses that specifically and principally involve computer-aided drawing training. Recommended high school preparation: Drafting, Geometry, English, Art, Basic Science, and Computer Literacy.
Students may take the following courses in any order that respects course prerequisites and corequisites.. For detailed information,please visit the Architectural Engineering and CAD Technology's website.
