This certificate course introduces students to the principles and practices of architectural drafting within residential projects. Learners develop strong foundational skills in floor plan layout, elevations, sections, details, and basic site drawings. The course emphasizes drafting standards, architectural conventions, and the ability to translate architectural ideas into clear, precise technical drawings. Students also learn how residential construction logic influences their drawings and documentation.

This advanced course focuses on drafting and documenting commercial buildings, large developments, and high-rise structures. Students learn to prepare complex plans, structural grids, circulation cores, shafts, fire stairs, and multi-level architectural documentation using professional drafting conventions. The course highlights coordination with structural and building systems, preparing learners to produce accurate, industry-ready drawings for mid-rise and high-rise projects.
Prerequisites: Architectural Drafting & Design – Residential Applications, and Structural Plans in Architectural Drafting & Design.

This course trains students to prepare structural drawings that support architectural documentation. Learners develop the ability to draft foundation plans, framing layouts, beams, slabs, columns, and detailed sections, while understanding how structural systems affect architectural design. The course strengthens technical accuracy and is essential for students progressing to commercial and high-rise applications.

This course introduces students to the preparation of architectural electrical drawings used in residential and commercial buildings. Learners will develop skills in lighting layouts, power plans, switching systems, symbols, legends, schedules, circuit organization, and basic coordination with other building systems. The focus is on producing clean, readable electrical sheets that integrate seamlessly into an architectural drawing set.

This course provides training in drafting plumbing and sanitary drawings as part of a complete architectural documentation set. Students learn how to prepare water supply layouts, drainage plans, venting diagrams, plumbing risers, fixture coordination, legends, and plumbing schedules. Emphasis is placed on clarity, accuracy, and coordination with architectural and structural elements.

This certificate program teaches students how to draft heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning plans for building projects. Learners develop the ability to prepare duct layouts, diffuser distributions, return air paths, mechanical room layouts, HVAC zoning concepts, equipment schedules, and coordinated HVAC sheets. The course emphasizes clarity, professional standards, and coordination with architectural spaces.

This course explores the drafting requirements of interior architecture and interior design. Students learn to prepare interior plans, interior elevations, furniture layouts, millwork drawings, finish schedules, reflected ceiling plans, material diagrams, and presentation sheets. The focus is on spatial refinement, clarity of documentation, and the technical precision needed for interior construction and decoration work.

This course introduces students to the essential principles of civil drafting and demonstrates how civil documentation supports and interacts with architectural design. Learners begin by studying core civil drawing techniques such as grading plans, drainage layouts, contours, site engineering, structural engineering, road alignments, pavement design, and stormwater systems. The course then explores how these civil drafting principles apply directly to architectural projects, especially on large sites, complex developments, and mixed-use environments.

This course provides specialized training in mechanical drafting, followed by the integration of mechanical principles into architectural environments. Students first develop competence in drafting mechanical components, assemblies, industrial systems, and technical diagrams. The course then guides learners through the application of mechanical drafting within architectural projects — including coordination with HVAC systems, mechanical rooms, shafts, equipment layouts, industrial architectural spaces, and high-performance building environments.
