Program Mission, Description, and Outcomes
Mission:
The mission of the AutoCAD Foundations (Architectural) program is to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment as a drafter in architecture, building construction, land development or related fields. The program, which uses the latest technology and innovative teaching methods, also transitions into 2-yr or 4-yr degree opportunities.
Description:
The program provides a foundation in the use of AutoCAD for architecture and construction. The certificate includes instruction in architectural drawing and the use of AutoCAD software for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and Architectural CAD. Students will earn AutoCAD User Certification. Program courses apply toward the Associate of Science degree in Drafting and Design.
Outcomes:
Graduates of the program will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge and skills to generate architectural drawings which comply with American Institute of Architects (AIA) standards.
- Identify and use both drawing board tools and computer software procedures to produce drawings.
- Design virtual 2-D and 3-D models to solve problems associated with the use of interior and exterior space.
- Create presentations for communicating designs using appropriate digital rendering techniques.
- Demonstrate proficiency in industry-related computer applications by earning software certification.
- Evaluate digital sources using the Internet to find and compare existing conditions, designs, and solutions.
Note: The length of this program makes it ineligible for federal and state financial aid.
Additional Admission Requirements
- Prior to enrollment in college-level English or math courses, some students may be advised to complete college preparatory/developmental course work. See an Academic Advisor to determine developmental course requirements.
