Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Architectural Technology program is designed to provide the informational, attitudinal, and technical skills required for an entry-level position as a Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) operator in Architectural or Interior Design offices or related fields. Students develop two-dimensional (2D) and three-?dimensional (3D) drawings and models utilizing industry standard CAD, Revit, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, and learn presentation methods and construction documentation conventions. A Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Architectural Technology (5708) is fully embedded within this AAS.

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. (ARC141, ARC142, ARC243, ARC244, ARC245, ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC265/INT251, ARC270, [MA]). 2. Use the latest 2D, 3D, and 3D parametric modeling CAD software to develop technical drawings and solid models in a manner that is efficient and compliant with standard industry practices. (ARC141, ARC142, ARC243, ARC244, ARC245, ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC265/INT251, ARC270, [MA]) 3. Utilize BIM concepts in project development. (ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC270) 4. Employ the principles and theory of construction processes and properties of materials. (ARC141, ARC142, ARC243, ARC244, ARC245, ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC265/INT251, ARC270, [MA]) 5. Apply construction industry codes and standards. (ARC141, ARC142, ARC243, ARC244, ARC245, ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC265/INT251, ARC270, [MA]) 6. Produce sketches, multi-view layouts, sections, details, working drawings, and building components schedules. (ARC141, ARC142, ARC243, ARC244, ARC245, ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC265/INT251, ARC270, [MA]) 7. Utilize traditional modeling techniques and 3D printing for project conceptualization. (ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC270) 8. Communicate with others in verbal and in written form to collaboratively solve complex problems within the discipline. (ARC141, ARC142, ARC243, ARC244, ARC245, ARC/INT250, ARC251, ARC265/INT251, ARC270, (COM), (CRE), [FYC], [HU], [MA], [SB], [SG], [SQ]) 9. Apply relevant knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to seek career opportunities in the field. (FYE101, FYE103)
