Course Descriptions
CAD Architectural Design is divided into three (3) sections. The first being CAD Architectural Design 1 which focuses on the development of the students basic and essential skills. Students are assigned a simple series of tasks that have some basic yet absolutely essential skills which enable them to solve complex design problems. These skills begin with conceptual sketching of a simple beach house or mountain cabin and progress to a 1800 to 2400 square foot home. In the end the goal is that each student will have developed the essential skills needed to create a functional set of building plans complete with schematics and presentation renderings.
CAD Architectural Design 2 & 3 are cover sequentially with the students delving into more complex designs that have additional requirements. These range form ADA needs to local and regional building codes.
CAD Architectural Design 1 Course Information
CAD Architectural Design 1 Course Information
CAD Architectural Design 1 (Formerly CAD Technology or CAD Drafting)
CE Course(s): CCET 1040 Introduction to CAD/Residential Architecture
Credits: .5 Credits AT, IT or EL
Prerequisites: None
This is an introductory and exploratory course for students interested in residential construction and architecture. Students will be shown and practice the basics of residential design and construction through developing industry acceptable plans for a small residence of their design following the requirements of the state core. Students will learn to 3D model a building or home using real industry software. They will also explore different home styles and needs through classroom discussion and virtual tours.
Students are welcome and encouraged to take part in either SkillsUSA or TSA (Technology Student Association) the Career & Technical Student Organizations that align with this subject matter.
Software: ArchiCAD/Revit, Sketch-up, AutoCAD, Word

CAD Architectural Design 2 & 3 Course Information
CAD Architectural Design 2 & 3 (Formerly Architectural Drafting 2)
CE Course(s): CCET 1040 Introduction to CAD/Residential Architecture
Credits: 1.0 AT, IT or EL
Prerequisites: Architectural Design 1 recommended not required
Students in this course develop further hand skills in architectural design through more detailed application of software as well as learning hand techniques including rendering and model building. Students design a cottage to a specific architectural style that they then create "real world" usable plans for and build an architectural model of during the course. Students also explore the needs of commercial architectural designers and architects through projects and experiments.
