Architectural Technology Courses: The Architectural Technology section deals with the

ever-changing interrelationships of material, functions, environment, and production. All of

these must be evaluated and manipulated in order to achieve the optimal performance,

balance, and maximum efficiency of the building system.

This science is the translation of design concepts into graphic images, and then converting

these graphic images into technical drawings and specifications that ultimately result in the

creation of the built environment.

The main goal of this field is to prepare students for the workplace through extensive

training in building products and materials, structural analysis and design, and building

science.

Therefore, knowledge and theory concerning the processes of design, and building science

such as construction, and environmental issues are very important and must be developed

alongside the skills needed for drawing, communication, and presentation. This is anextremely important link between design and production.

Architecture students must gain a unique understanding of the inseparability of disciplines

involved in architecture and buildings, as well as the connection between building

technology and design. We have carefully chosen courses that are concerned with the

quality of the constructed environment, its architectural design, and its structural resolution.

The following Architectural Technologies courses will provide you with the knowledge and

skill required in creating buildings and other architecture and thus provides you with the

necessary skills upon entering the workforce.
