Academic Year Courses ：

Architecture is one of the ten majors in our school that combines aesthetics and engineering.
In other words, the assignments the students get is a significant amount. And of course, that directly builds up to students’ expertises in architecture, meaning they will graduate with confidence and pockets full of knowledge. 

The first floor is Carpentry Workshop which is located in the first floor of Dunpin Building.
this class is aimed for Construction Skills Practice, carpentry, and ceramic tiles collaging.

We teach students how to use and maintain tools properly, making it easier for them to understand the principle of Sawing, Planing, Drilling, chiseling and Grinding. Also not to forget about the importance of safety-operating.

Due to the worldwide focus on forest conservation, the cost of timber is increasing rapidly, especially for big pieces of wood. So we develop using small pieces of wood assembled with suitable hardware parts for construction. We use drilling and screws for assembly, making the work more efficient, this can be applied to future construction projects too.

In the center of the workshop is a brand-new Circular Saw Machine. Across from here, there are two machines placed in the middle, called laser cutters.

And the one over there placed seven CNC engraving machines.

Plumbing Workshop is right next to Carpentry Workshop,

it’s also a part of Construction Skill Practice. Usually, students practice installing electrical wiring and piping for power circuits.

The plumbing workshop is used as Surveying practice or used as copper ring design and making.

There is our Plastering Workshop at the backyard.

Students engage in concrete mixing, bricklaying, and upon completion of the course, obtain a concrete certification.

In our Construction Materials and Testing class, we conduct various simple construction experiments here in the lab.

The second floor is our teachers’ office, and CAD Workshop.
It’s a place for Design and Technology Practice, Computer-aided Drafting.

Third and fourth floor are both for the Drafting Workshop. Use for Architecture Drawing Practice and Working-drawing Practice.
