Architectural Drafting Degrees

What skill will I learn with an architectural drafting degree?
Architectural drafting degrees are offered by a range of different schools and colleges at both associate's and bachelor's degree level. A typical course will aim to provide you with all the skills and knowledge necessary for you to begin a successful career in this field.

Architectural drafters are responsible for drawing up plans that show the architectural and structural details of buildings and other built structures. Traditionally this was done by hand using pencils, pen and ink, protractors, set squares and other drawing equipment. It is still important for students to learn drawing board skills and to be proficient in them, but today more and more work is being done using computer-aided drafting (CAD). This means that most architectural drafting degrees will emphasize the importance of good computing skills and expertise in the appropriate CAD software.

In addition to the above, other subjects typically included in architectural drafting degrees are mathematics, communications, problem solving, structural design, cost estimation, project scheduling, building engineering, materials and methods, mechanical and electrical systems, presentation techniques and business studies.

What kind of career can this degree help me get?
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers are most interested in applicants who can demonstrate that they are already proficient in all the techniques essential for a drafting career, particularly manual drawing and computer-aided design. Graduates who have earned architectural drafting degrees should have learned these skills and therefore be well prepared to work in a broad range of jobs within the construction related industries.

Architectural and engineering firms, manufacturers, general contractors, home builders, material suppliers and building centers should all provide employment opportunities for architectural drafting graduates in areas such as drafting technology, architectural CAD, estimating, project coordination, construction management or sales.
