program- level student learning outcomes

  • At the completion of the AAS degree – Architectural Specialization - the student will be able to:

  • A1.  Operate AEC (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) software including computer aided drafting (CAD), building information modeling (BIM), and 3D modeling applications to plan and prepare construction documents and technical graphics appropriate to the architectural and construction industries.

  • A2.  Utilize various architectural drawing types and determine their appropriate uses in architectural projects to demonstrate knowledge of building systems and familiarity with building codes.

  • A3.  Demonstrate knowledge of architectural concepts of foundational architecture courses as outlined in the 2014 Student Performance Criteria (SPC) established by the  National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).

Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives

  • Use architectural techniques to design, assemble, evaluate, and render architectural building components. 
  • Develop plan and elevation drawings and details from three-dimensional architectural models. 
  • Use Building Information Modeling software through creation of digital building models. 
  • Identify architectural and design terminology necessary to effectively operate BIM software. 
  • Utilize Autodesk Revit Architecture 2021 software. 
  • Recognize techniques utilized by the architectural profession to create architectural technical drawings from building models.
