Most of the construction world has grown beyond CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) and is now embracing BIM (Building Information Modeling) - a much more sophisticated and intelligent system. We have been teaching the BIM process using Autodesk Revit since 2002.
Students visit construction sites to observe real-world construction practices, hear from guest speakers about the many career opportunities all around the industry, and tour architectural offices.
Our graduates are employed by architects; structural, mechanical and electrical engineers; contractors, subcontractors, and building equipment and material fabricators and suppliers.
This program is on our Ankeny Campus with select classes offered on other campuses. You may receive a Diploma and/or an Associates degree.
