Architectural Drafting and Building Construction
Beginning with a firm foundation in drafting with instruments, and followed with
an introduction to computed aided drafting (CAD), students learn to conceptualize
the building process. Using the latest construction methods, and under close
supervision, they construct a residence inside the MTI building shop—where
the weather is always nice. At the end of the first year, one of the students’
architectural plans is selected for next year’s residence.
The second year of the program, students working in construction units,
build a house in the Mitchell community. As they work on the second home,
they learn about concrete work as the students construct the foundation
and rough finish a basement. A garage is added and a complete three-bedroom
home is completed, ready for a Mitchell family.
Graduates from this design and carpentry program find employment with
lumberyards, building contractors, and architectural firms. Their skills
in CAD, carpentry, surveying, estimating, and cabinetry make the students
in the Architectural Design and Building Construction Program valuable
employees in the building trades. They have design experience and construction
work on their resumes.
