Architecture & Design Technology
| Introduction to Architectural & Interior Design | 04120 | |
| This course is designed for students interested in an exposure to architectural design and construction practices. Students will use various 3D modeling programs to design a single-story residential building composed of foundation plans, floor plans, elevations, renderings and model building. Students will have the opportunity to utilize the laser cutter and 3D printer to build residential models. Students will also be exposed to job shadowing opportunities and career exploration within the field of architecture and design. Opportunities to participate in architectural competitions and field trips to expand exposure to architectural styles and influences are also offered throughout the course. **Pathway: Engineering/Manufacturing & Industrial Technology | ||
| COURSE NOTE: Completion of this course will fulfill .5 fourth-year credit Math or .5 credit Visual, Performing & Applied Arts, but not both, to meet graduation requirements. | ||
| CREDIT: 0.5 | TYPE: Regular | GRADE: 9-12 |
| Architectural Design A - CEA PLTW (Project Lead the Way) | 04170A | |
| This course is designed for students interested in a career in the architectural design, interior design or construction occupations. Students will use 3D modeling programs to design and draw residential/ commercial buildings and learn about creating construction documents composed of foundation plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, plot plans, renderings and model building. They will be exposed to 3D printing, laser cutting, various architectural styles, and design and construction techniques which will be beneficial post high school and for employment. Students will also be exposed to job shadowing opportunities and career exploration within the field of architecture and design. Opportunities to participate in architectural competitions and field trips to expand exposure to architectural styles and influences are also offered throughout the course. **Pathway: Engineering/Manufacturing & Industrial Technology | ||

| Advanced Architectural Design A | 04180A | |
| This advanced course is for students interested in a career in Architectural Design, Interior Design or Construction. Students will learn about various aspects of civil engineering and architecture. Students will apply what they learn to the design and development of commercial and residential building design. The course provides student's freedom to develop the property as a simulation or for students to model the experiences and challenges that civil engineers and architects face. Students work in teams, exploring hands-on activities and projects to learn the characteristics of civil engineering and architecture. In addition, students use 3D design software to design solutions to solve major course projects. Students learn about documenting their project, solving problems and communicating their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community of civil engineering and architecture. **Pathway: Engineering/Manufacturing & Industrial Technology | ||
