Architectural Design Technology: AAS Degree
The Architectural Design Technology program trains students for architectural drafting careers in one of the fastest growing technologies in the United States. As an architectural design technician, the draftsperson will interpret engineering data, develop sketches, designs, and working drawings for construction. Many technicians are valuable members of architectural/engineering teams in industry. Using the technology of Computer Aided Drafting, students will develop drafting skills in both 2D and 3D. This is a Tech Prep articulated program. For more information regarding Tech Prep, click here.
