Architectural Design and Building Construction
Description
Beginning with a firm foundation in drafting with instruments, and followed with an introduction to computed aided drafting (CAD), students learn to conceptualize the building process. Using the latest construction methods, and under close supervision, they construct a residence inside the MTI building lab where the weather is always nice. 

During the second year of the program, students working in teams build a house in the Mitchell community. As they work on the on-site home, they learn about concrete, constructing the foundation and rough-finishing a basement. A garage is added and a home is completed, ready for a Mitchell family.
