Welcome
Architectural Design is communication through the use of graphic representation and creation of BIM (Building Information Modeling) designs. The program prepares the student for employment in a variety of exciting and rewarding areas of the architectural and engineering fields. Students take coursework using a variety of AutoCAD and Revit software packages. As you progress through the program, you will be challenged to develop the problem solving skills needed in the construction environment. The Architectural Design labs are laid out to give students the feel of working in an architectural or engineering office. Graduates of the program are trained to enter the challenging, fast-paced world of Building Design.
Please note: All Architectural Design focus classes are prerequisites for acceptance into the 8th quarter of study.
Graduates of this focus are trained to be special members of a team that assist both the architect and engineer.
Architectural Design graduates are working throughout the United States. SCC has placed graduates on both the East and West coasts, but the majority of the graduates are placed in Nebraska and surrounding states. Students work in companies of various sizes. Some graduates continue their education at a four-year college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree.

Computer Aided Design Drafting Focus
Type of jobs available:
- Engineering Technician
- Product Designer
- VDC Coordinator
- Revit ® Technician
- CAD Designer
- Design Engineer
Computer Aided Design Drafting is communication through the use of graphic representation and creation of 3-D designs. Students take courses that prepare them for employment in a variety of exciting and rewarding areas of computer aided design. Students take courses using computer aided design. Students take courses using computer-aided-drafting software in the first three quarters as a prerequisite for advanced design courses. Computer design labs are designed to give students hands-on training in an atmosphere commonly found in industry. With the use of 3-dimensional rapid prototyping plotters students produce solid ABS plastic parts. This simulates the activities Design Drafters would be involved in working with many companies.
Graduates of the Computer Aided Design Drafting focus are responsible for the dynamic new designs of most structures and consumer products available today. In engineering and architectural offices across the nation, designers have many responsibilities that will employ their abilities to think “outside the box” as they create solutions to today’s design challenges.
Program graduates are employed by large and small businesses and by government agencies.
Design drafters are professional people involved in the process of creating solutions to technical engineering design problems. They work in a specialized environment as communicators and must exhibit good written and verbal skills, along with the use of high levels of math and physics to create new industrial, commercial and business products.
This focus is located on the Lincoln Campus and admits new students in the Fall and Spring quarters.
Notation on DDRT1220: If you have verifiable prior experience in basic AutoCAD, contact David Zachek before the term you plan to attend for evaluation of credit.
