ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGY COURSE SCHEDULE

scroll down for links to course names and descriptions

This curriculum is designed to provide individuals with manipulative drafting skills and a basic knowledge of architectural construction.  Because the architectural draftsman or designer associates with many levels of personnel - administrative, architects, engineers, and skilled workmen - they must be able to communicate effectively with them.  These courses are arranged in a sequence that will provide an orderly method of accomplishment, not only in hand/computer drafting skills, but also in mathematics, science, communications and human relations, and industrial organization.  Students will gain confidence and the ability to advance rapidly in proficiency upon entering the field of work.

Students in the Architectural Technology program prepare clear, complete and accurate working drawings, artistic presentation drawings, learn contract and estimating tasks, and gain knowledge of the architectural, structural and mechanical features of many classes of buildings and like structures.

Upon completion of the program, students receive an Associate in Applied Science degree. Graduates have career opportunities within architectural, engineering, and construction professions as well as positions in industry and government.

Admission and Registration
Admission to the college requires a high school diploma. A state equivalency certificate or GED test results which meet NC equivalency standards are acceptable
in lieu of a high school diploma. Students will be scheduled for the placement test upon receipt of an application and transcripts.
