Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
Degree in Architectural & Mechanical Project Design & Development CADD

The Architectural & Mechanical Project Design & Development CADD program focuses on the development and understanding of the design process. The disciplines are integrated in such a way that they continually complement one another. This program promotes and develops the skills necessary to take an Architectural & Mechanical conceptual idea through the development process in an efficient and sensible manner. Emphasis is placed on practical application through Architectural & Mechanical case studies, teamwork and “hands on” projects. This course will develop the CADD skills necessary to create designs and technical drawings for the architectural and mechanical career environments.

Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to demonstrate their understanding of basic Architectural & Mechanical design principles as well as the integration of the disciplines. Some of the areas of study covered, but not limited to, are:

• Architectural & Mechanical CADD
• Architectural & Mechanical design principles
• Physics, statics, strengths & properties of materials
• Processes utilized in the design of both commercial and residential structures
• Site development procedures
