Architecture Degree Programs

A terrific place to start your career in architecture is by earning an online degree in architectural drafting. Architectural drafters prepare technical drawings and plans that are used to create structural features of buildings and houses. These draftsmen may specialize in a particular type of structure, such as commercial or residential, or in the kinds of materials used, such as masonry, reinforced concrete, or steel. Most architectural drafters today utilize Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) systems to prepare their drawings so that they can be viewed, printed, or programmed directly into automated manufacturing systems. continued below »

Architectural drafters need to have special knowledge of traditional drafting techniques and be able to create and draw technical details and rough sketches. In addition, they need to be able to specify structural dimensions and recommend types of materials and procedures to be used.

Some drafters utilize their knowledge of engineering and manufacturing theory and standards to determine design elements and they often utilize technical handbooks, tables, and calculators to complete their work. These individuals must have good mechanical abilities and visual aptitude and possess knowledge of manufacturing and construction methods. They need to be able to draw well and provide detail drawings accurately and neatly. Because of increasingly complex design problems and manufacturing processes, as well as industrial growth, the demand for drafters is still strong.
