Architectual Drafting - Clearfield County Career and Technology Center

Architectual Drafting from Clearfield County Career and Technology Center is a Campus Certificate Architectural Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The professions of architecture, engineering, and drafting are not professions that stand still over time. They are changing with each passing day. The Architectural Drafting and Design program is dedicated to providing the students not only with the tools that they need for today but also with the tools they need to be successful in the future. Students are encouraged to take a more active role in their education and their professional development. Instead of telling the students the answers I show them where and how to find the answers. I encourage the students to learn by doing research, looking at examples, communicating with professionals, and practice. Areas of Instruction Building Materials Detailed instruction on traditional, modern, and green building materials. Students learn about physical characteristics, thermal properties, cost data, installation details, warranty, and advantages and disadvantages of a wide variety of building materials. Students learn about building products through teacher instruction, construction industry sales representatives, and research. The classroom has a building material display area containing various sample products. Other products are viewed on the internet and photographs of local buildings. Codes and Building Restrictions Through actual and mock design projects students gain exposure to the IBC (International Building Code), and ADA guidelines (Americans with Disabilities Act). Working with building codes introduces the students to the design process that they will see as professionals. View more details on Clearfield County Career and Technology Center .
