Design Technology

Civil Engineering Technology- The Civil Engineering program provides opportunities to train in the following areas: construction staking and revisions in various aspects of construction such as building, subdivision, street, storm, and sanitary sewers. Auto CAD release and available SDR civil software are used with emphasis on computer hardware and software in processing and retrieving drawing and data files. Other areas of coverage include civil design drafting and layout, technical design (street, sanitary, storm, grade, contours, etc.), minor construction inspection (geo-technical, plans interpretation, etc.), study of applied technical mathematics, surveying (topographical, stadia, vertical and horizontal control, traversing, lot stakes, etc.), and legal description research and interpretation. The surveying program contains the latest technical equipment and current job market instruction. Prerequisite: Algebra. Candidates must score at or above the eleventh (111 th) grade level in mathematics on the general entrance exam. 1080 Hours. 11, 12, Adult.

Interior Design- The Interior Design program will provide students with competency-based training in interior design and merchandising. The core 540 hours includes drafting and furnishing interior environments of residential, commercial and industrial buildings. By using the design elements, such as color, and design principles of balance and proportion, students Will select furniture, accessories, wall coverings, flooring, and window treatments for the interiors. An additional 270 hours (by approval of the instructor) will give students computer-aided drafting (CAD) training, business training, and visual merchandising. Advanced students will select an area of design for specialized study. 540/810 Hours. 12, Adult.

Technical Drafting- The Technical Drafting program provides related and hands-on experience in the proper use of drafting tools and equipment, preparing drawings and reproductions, and developing entry-level skills, knowledge, and techniques for use in a variety of areas in the drafting field. Related theory and technical instruction includes the study of applied algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, as well as scientific and physical principles of numerous construction and manufacturing materials and techniques. Students with acquired proficiencies will be introduced to the fundamentals of computer-aided drafting (CAD), emphasizing the use of computer hardware and software in processing and retrieving drawing and data files. Prerequisite: Algebra. Candidates must score at or above the tenth (10th) grade level in mathematics on the general entrance exam. 1080 Hours. 11, 12, Adult
