The student seeking an AAS in Architecture & Civil Engineering will receive an industry driven foundation in general architectural and civil engineering principles with an introduction to principles from an engineering perspective. The student will also gain skills and knowledge in general drafting principles and theory of design applications. The student will be provided with knowledge of various procedures for developing a design and the application of drafting principles for each drafting discipline common to the profession in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Manufacturing (AECM) industry. Graduates in our program will be competent in architectural, civil, mechanical, pipe, surveying, structural, CAD, strength of materials, statics, descriptive geometry, GIS and technical drawing principles. The program prepares the student to enter into any of the various disciplines of Drafting & Design in the related engineering fields as a beginning level Drafter or CAD Technician. Additionally, this field of study also prepares the student for entry and intermediate levels in careers of pipe design and GIS as well as other graphic design related fields. Our graduates will receive credit for courses that will transfer to a 4-year degree in Architecture or Civil Engineering.
