Program Student Learning Outcomes (SLO): Upon successful completion of the AEC program, students will be able to: Draw objects of various orientations as may be prescribed, draw sections and elevations of objects, and identify the relationships of objects or object features to demonstrate visualization proficiency. Identify or describe the typical characteristics and uses of common construction materials, products, and systems, document them in drawings, and make appropriate selections based on design project requirements. Under supervision of an industry professional, design a residence or small commercial building, and create required construction drawings and a materials estimate for it. Use with reasonable efficiency the latest 2D and 3D CAD software programs to create industry-standard architectural and engineering drawings, both constructional and presentational. Describe the AEC industry and careers within the industry, model habits and attitudes for success in professional employment, prepare and present a professional resume and portfolio, and demonstrate developed interviewing skills in preparation for employment.
