Underlying all this is our attempt to integrate computer hardware and software into the curriculum. The computer is changing the face of our program just as it is changing the face of the architecture profession. Our labs are outfitted with cutting edge technology. Computers with current industry standard computer-aided drafting software are located at every workstation. Though somewhat based on the economy, our graduates seem to have great success in gaining employment in architectural offices as well as in related fields such as construction management and civil engineering.
Most students gain employment prior to graduation.
Job opportunities are posted and efforts are taken to match students to jobs. Prior to graduation, students in the program s capstone course prepare portfolios that help convey skills to prospective employers. Students may elect to combine work experience with college credit by participating in our cooperative education program. Our full time and adjunct faculty are uniquely qualified to help you attain your goals with backgrounds ranging from architectural practice to construction to building code enforcement. Currently there are four full time faculty members in the program.
