Program Description
Computers are being used at an increasing rate in the practice of architecture. A large percentage of design professionals perform a majority of their drawings using CAD/BIM systems. Professionals are using computers for many tasks, including graphic delineation, modeling, rendering, animation and to establish internet presence and interaction.
Students in the Architectural CAD/BIM program will have the opportunity to specialize their architectural training in the developing area of computers. This specialization will provide students with the opportunity to develop computer skills in all areas of CAD, BIM, modeling, rendering, animation and graphic presentation.
