*These classes are part of the Architectural Design/CAD CTE Graduation Pathway
Design/CAD 1 - Learn techniques and methods of drafting as a universal language to convey ideas via drawings and technical plans. Students will create a set of house plans along with a scale model and/or a perspective rendering. Learn about construction codes, techniques, materials, and methods. Grades 9-12
Design/CAD 2 - Discover the phases of the design and construction process, from site analysis, structural design, drafting and building codes. Design projects using both board and computer aided design (CAD). Grades 10-12
Green Building Architectural Design - Explore standards and applications used in designing efficient and sustainable built environments. Classroom atmosphere simulates a “real world” office environment in which projects are programmed, designed, presented, critiqued, revised, and developed into plans for construction, production, and presentation. Students participate in skills competitions and create a portfolio for education admission requirements and/or employment. Grades 11-12
