Architectural Design and Construction Technology Associate in Science (ARCH-AS)

The Architectural Design and Construction Technology program with emphasis in AEC (ARCH-AS) provides students with practical, hands-on training while exploring broad issues such as planning, management, finance, technical and product skills, safety and environmental issues within the architectural and construction industry. Attaining these skills qualifies the student to work for companies such as engineering firms, contractors or architects offices, building construction administration, facilities planning and management, or self-employment in the construction industry. The program emphasizes skills such as architectural drafting using AutoCAD, cost estimating, material selecting, specification writing, and building information management (BIM).

The Associate in Science in Architectural Design and Construction Technology includes the following college credit certificates:

AutoCAD Foundations 

Building Construction Specialist

Drafting

Students in this program are encouraged to apply to graduate with each certificate as the requirements are satisfied.

We strongly encourage you to contact the Applied Technology Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
