Drafting Universities

By Court

If you are wondering what drafting and architecture training really consists of, the coursework will generally include related subjects such as architectural history, theory, building design, construction techniques, liberal arts, math, physical sciences, professional practice, arts and design, and computer aided drafting (CAD).

There are a variety of schools extending Computer Aided Drafting education (CAD training) to eager students. Comprehensive training in computer aided drafting can lead to Associate Degrees or professional certificates for occupations related to architecture and mechanics, as well as digital design, graphic art, and other specialties.

At Drafting and Architecture School, drafting students learn to draw up the plans and technical aspects of the design that are needed before a building project can begin. They learn how to turn rough sketches and brief notes into a precise and detailed plan, expanding the technical details and providing the visual guidelines needed to complete the project. The professional drafter usually specializes in one particular area of drafting, such as architectural, mechanical, civil, or electrical.

As with any educational pursuit it is always wise to review potential courses for accreditation and whether or not courses will be accepted toward a degree. For more specific information regarding online architecture and drafting coursework, students may visit the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).

Currently, there are no complete online degree programs available in architecture and drafting, but there are partial or continuing education courses designed to enhance the careers of architecture professionals and to help students enter full-time training programs geared toward a degree.
