Minimum Requirements Certificate: 33 credits
Three options in the drafting technology certificate program are offered: architectural drafting, civil drafting, and architectural and civil drafting. The architectural certificate or the civil certificate are 33 credits, while an architectural and civil certificate requires 35 credits.
The courses combine the technical know-how and "hands-on" experience necessary for work in a variety of drafting fields. Students work side-by-side with professionals from the architectural and engineering community, gaining valuable on-the-job experience. In the classroom, students develop skills in mathematics, drawing and lettering, architectural concepts and design and construction techniques, utilizing both conventional drawing techniques and computer aided drafting.
A student may request credit by examination for any DRT class.
