Building Science Technology

Structures are developed in three phases:

1st. The conceptual design phase, in which the structure is conceived and formulated by the designer,
2nd. The working drawing stage, in which drawings and specifications are developed in order to fabricate the structure.
3rd. And the construction stage, in which the structure is physically erected.

The Department of Building Science Technology offers the following options that cover the continuum from the conceptual design to the constructed edifice: Architectural/Civil Design Technology and Construction Management Technology. Check with your four-year institution for the transferability of courses in this program. This program is not designed to transfer to a four-year institution. Certificate Requirements

The Architectural/Civil Design Certificate curriculum covers the fundamentals of manual drafting and computer aided drafting enabling the graduate to apply these skills in jobs related to the engineering technologies. The Construction Management Certificate curriculum covers the fundamentals of construction blueprints, codes, estimating, and management enabling the graduate to apply these skills in jobs related to the construction industry. All course work in the certificate program will apply to the Associate in Applied Science degree program in Building Science. Prior to taking courses, the student should meet with an advisor to discuss program requirements and develop a plan for satisfying the following requirements.
