Technology Studies: Architectural CAD Certificate (CADA-CC-COT)
|
|
The Architectural Computer-Aided Design (CAD) certificate program provides students with career-based training in architectural design using computer-aided drafting/design technology. To provide the necessary technical base, the program also includes architectural blueprint reading. Basic training in computer technology is included to prepare students for the two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and solid-modeling computer-aided design technology in the program. CAD technology in the core of the certificate program is comprised of 2D AutoCAD®, REVIT® solid modeling, and rendering technology.
Learning Outcomes:
- Read and analyze building blueprints including floor, mechanical, and electrical plans
- Annotate construction documents according to currently acceptable standards
- Exhibit competency in turning the engineering concept drawings into CAD models.
- Exhibit competency in two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and solid-modeling skills as applied to complex computer-aided design technology.
- Render three-dimensional models for aesthetic representation
- Cite and identify technical drafting practices, procedures, and processes according to current ANSI/ISO standards
- Use currently available object-based CAD technology for design and documentation of architectural models
- Create mass models from architectural sketches
