This 10-month intensive course teaches you to create residential and commercial building drawings for construction projects and permit applications. You'll master architectural drafting methods while implementing construction standards and up-to-date building regulations. The curriculum covers architectural theory and practical design, with special emphasis on energy-efficient solutions, fire/earthquake safety measures, and budget-conscious planning. Students will also complete a civil survey module introducing land surveying methods and civil engineering design principles. Digital design software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Revit forms a core component of the training.
Our experienced faculty simulate professional workplace conditions, presenting authentic design challenges that push students to refine their creative abilities beyond entry-level drafting requirements.
