Learning in interactive studios with the most current equipment and software, students will develop a solid foundation of diverse and practical skills required to be involved in projects ranging from new construction to alterations and renovations in the residential, commercial and high-rise sectors of the architectural, engineering and construction industry. The Architectural Technology program prepares students to apply current practices of the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, including:
- Building design
- Sustainability
- Building codes and regulations
- Building science
- Construction law and contracts
- Technical writing
- Specifications
- Cost planning
In addition to technical design skills, students will also develop and apply skills in computer-aided drafting (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D rendering and digital modeling. Students collaborate in teams within a simulated office environment to complete projects involving proposals, designs and construction documents for both new and existing facilities.
