Architectural Drafting

Prepares students for employment as a design/production drafter in the field of Architecture.  A drafter will use computer-aided drafting (CAD) or 3D dimensional software (REVIT) to produce designs, working drawings, charts, forms, and records.  Coordinate structural, electrical, and mechanical designs and determine a method of presentation to graphically represent building plans.  Furthermore, follow building codes, by-laws, space and site requirements, and other technical documents and reports to determine their effect on architectural designs.

Learning Outcome(s):

  • Apply the principles of structural and building material applications.
  • Develop the software skills required for employment in the architecture industry.
  • Analyze, document, and draft construction drawings.
