Students may prepare for positions as CAD drafting technicians, 3-D project renderers, and other similarly related occupations in public and private sector architecture and construction/building industry related offices. Supplemental courses offer students a broad architectural and general education background and enable them to continue their education in architecture at the university level.\n\n**Career Opportunities**\n\nEntry-level CAD/Revit Technicians Entry level Drafting/Design Technicians Digital 3D modeler/animator\n\n**Program Learning Outcomes**\n\nUpon completion of this program a student will be able to:\n\n1.  Create a Building Design using manual/computer tools.\n2.  Create Accurate Detailed Drawings\n3.  Verbally and Graphically present project ideas"
