Thank you for your patience as we build out this resource!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

The Drafting and Design Technology program will provide young people with the skills needed to function in the modern architectural/engineering environment. This program will prepare students to communicate design ideas via architectural drawings, construction documents, and visual presentations. Students will analyze past and modern construction methods and materials. Design documentation will include construction specifications utilizing CSI Standards, cost estimations, and project scheduling. This course will identify all aspects of training/courses students will be required to take in college. The classroom is set up to imitate a modern architectural office. Students will advance through the program based on competency, production, responsibility, and accuracy. All courses utilize the computer drawing programs AutoCAD 2016 and Google SketchUp.
