SMCCME

The Architectural & Engineering Design program prepares students for technician level work assisting architects, engineers, and contractors who work in the diverse manufacturing industry. Offering a variety of drafting/design disciplines, the program provides students with individual choices of specialization including architectural, mechanical and electro-mechanical interests.

The Architectural and Engineering Design program provides a wide selection of courses, both specific and broad in scope, reinforced by established degree-level courses in general education and related technologies.

The program is accessible for the full- or part-time student. Some sequential scheduling of courses, however, is necessary to provide program continuity. All candidates are encouraged to contact the advisors in the Architectural and Engineering Design department regarding course and program selection.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to:

• Understand and apply proper technical graphic standards and drawing techniques.
• Acquire and demonstrate a knowledge of specific interests, including architectural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering.
• Identify and solve design problems by working with recognized methods and material limits.
• Learn discipline specific design and develop solutions based upon the design criteria in a timely fashion.
• Understand and use Auto CAD effectively to general drawings and designs both in two and three dimensional formats.
• Organize and present designs, drawings, and concepts clearly.
• Demonstrate acceptable work ethics.
