Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Architectural and Civil CAD Technology degree is designed to prepare students for careers in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) including, but not limited to, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering offices; Landscape Architects or related fields. The goal of this program is to broaden design exposure and CAD technology skills. Students develop two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) drawings and models utilizing industry standard CAD and BIM software, and learn presentation methods and construction documentation conventions.

Learning Outcomes
1. Apply current standards in dimensioning, symbology, linetypes, lineweights, drawing notes for working drawings, design related drawings to read, interpret, and produce construction documents and portfolio-quality working drawings.
