The Architectural Engineering Drafting Certificate prepares
students for the growing number of entry-level jobs in engineering, construction,
and architectural firms. Our laboratory is equiped with industry-standard
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
systems to provide state-of-the-art graphics training. Coursework includes
instruction and hands-on training in:
- Computer and conventional drafting
- Construction materials and processes
- Basic engineering mechanics
- Architectural cost estimating

This program of study is outlined by quarter, and courses should be taken in the indicated sequence. However, it should not be concluded that students will always proceed through their program of study exactly as prescribed here. The number of quarters listed here is minimum. Individual student experience, educational and training background, and personal schedules and demands all may affect the time it takes to finish this program. Also, in general, summer quarter is not considered one of the full-time quarters in the program.
Note: advanced placement testing, work experience, and transfer of credits may result in course waivers, credit transfer, and advanced placement.
This program curriculum contains substantial and coherent general education and related instruction. General education provides the broad, non-specialized portion of the students' education that includes:
- Communication
- Quantitative Reasoning
- Human Relations
- U.S. Cultures or Global Studies
The general education requirements address this description of general education. Other program requirements outside of this division (e.g., English and math) represent related instruction in support of skills and knowledge necessary in this field of study.
Safety and industrial hygiene are included throughout the curriculum through lectures and actual demonstrations of safe laboratory techniques.
Throughout this program of study the importance of a responsible and professional work ethic is stressed. Factors leading to such a work ethic are identified and discussed. Instruction is also provided in effective leadership and how it enhances the work environment. Input from this program's industrial advisory committee is essential to curriculum content pertaining to the work ethic and leadership as well as the technically oriented curriculum.
