The Department of Construction Technology (CNT) offers three Associate of Science degree programs: one in architectural technology, one in civil engineering technology, and one in interior design. Upon satisfactory completion of an A.S. degree in architectural technology or civil engineering technology programs, students may continue with the third and fourth years to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in construction technology. For their B.S. degree studies in contruction technology, students may follow tracks in construction, structural/civil design, and surveying. Students in all the above degree programs/majors may apply to enter the co-op or internship work programs following their freshman year.
For more information, contact the Department of Construction Technology at
(317) 274-2413.
The architectural technology (ART) curriculum is a two-year associate degree
program designed to provide students with the skills to work in the areas of
architectural drafting and detailing, simple structural design, planning,
estimating, inspection, and sales. The curriculum is not intended to prepare
students for registration as professional architects.
Emphasis is on basic engineering principles of mechanics, surveying,
residential and commercial construction drawings, mechanical and electrical
systems in buildings, and materials testing. Also included are courses in
mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, communications, computer
programming fundamentals, and the humanities.
Graduates typically find employment with architectural firms, construction
firms, building material suppliers, and various governmental agencies. Graduates
are also eligible to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Construction Technology and
follow tracks in construction and structural/civil design.
