This hands-on architecture design course explores the intersection of technology and design in creating interior and exterior spaces. Students will delve into how human, environmental, financial, and material factors shape the planning and execution of architectural projects. They will engage in researching, designing, constructing, and evaluating various building projects. Additionally, students will utilize specialized software to craft virtual models for presenting their design concepts. By actively participating in practical exercises, students will cultivate a comprehensive understanding of constructing structures, as well as their accompanying accessories and finishes. Furthermore, they will compile an academic design portfolio and investigate potential career and educational opportunities within the field of architecture.

This is an emphasis course in Technological Design focusing on Architectural Design. 

Prerequisite: None

This course examines how technological design is influenced by human, environmental, financial, and material requirements and resources. Students will research, design, build, and assess solutions that meet specific human needs, using working drawings and other communication methods to present their design ideas. They will develop an awareness of environmental, societal, and cultural issues related to technological design, and will explore career opportunities in the field, as well as the college and/or university program requirements for them.

Prerequisite: None

This course focuses on industrial design with an emphasis on automotive design. Students learn automotive sketching techniques and the principles of interior and exterior vehicle design.
