Prepares students for employment in the field of residential design or a related technical field such as drawing for product manufacturers, engineering or design firms.
Prior graduates have entered engineering technician positions in computer aided drafting and design (CAD), project management assisting, residential design and site planning and developing, assisting with GIS mapping, and performing structural calculations and computations for engineering of wood beams and joints. Students participate in realistic training activities as a part of their educational experience.
This program is approximately seven quarters in length, depending on the time students need to satisfactorily complete all graduation requirements. A part-time evening degree is also available.
In addition to the program course requirements, students must also complete the general education requirements for the degree they seek to obtain. The two degree options in this program are the Associate of Applied Technology (AAT) or the Associate of Applied Science–T (AAS-T) the different requirements for each degree are listed below.
AAT Degree General Education Requirements (15 credits): ENGL& 101 English Composition or CMST& (or higher). MAT 105 Math for Industrial Professions (or higher). PSYC& 100 General Psychology or other social science or humanities class
AAS-T Degree General Education Requirements (20 credits): All AAS-T degrees must have a minimum of 20 credits of transferable general education. These credits replace the academic courses required for the AAT degree. Required credits include: 5 credits in Communication: ENGL& 101 or CMST& 220; 5 credits in quantitative reasoning: MATH& 141, MATH& 142, MATH& 146 or MATH& 151; 10 credits in social science, humanities or science: (choose two from the following) PSYC& 100, PSYC& 200, PSY 210, PSYC& 220, SOC& 101, ART& 101, MUS& 105, ASL& 121, BIOL 118, BIOL& 241, BIOL& 242, CHEM& 161, CHEM& 162, PHYS& 121, ECON 101, ECON& 201 or ECON& 202.
