Comments from Former
Students
"I have received a job offer as an architectural drafter.
I truly believe it is because of the experience and knowledge
I received from your class."
Shweta Nanekar
"I wanted to let you know that I am now
finishing a degree in civil engineering at the University of Minnesota
and am applying to the Ph.D. program in engineering. My drafting
skills are very useful while evaluating trusses and beams. Professors
give extra points for neatness!"

Architectural technicians translate the architect's design sketches
into complete, accurate plans and drawings for construction purposes.
The technician is involved in work requiring knowledge of drafting,
computer graphics, construction materials, mechanical and structural
systems, estimating, building codes, and specifications.
Initial employment opportunities exist with architectural and engineering
firms, private utilities, contractors, and municipal governments. The
Architectural Technology curriculum is a two-year program which awards
the Associate of Applied Science degree. The Architectural Technology
program is offered during the day and may be completed in five semesters.
The Architectural CAD certificate may be completed in two semesters.
