Architectural Design and Building Construction
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 shop; where the weather is always nice. At the end of the first year, one of the students’ architectural plans is selected for
next year’s residence.
The second year of the program, students working in construction units, build a house in the Mitchell community. As they work on the second
home, they learn about concrete work as the students construct the foundation and rough finish a basement. A garage is added and a complete
three-bedroom home is completed, ready for a Mitchell family.
Graduates from this design and carpentry program find employment with lumberyards, building contractors, and architectural firms. Their
skills in CAD, carpentry, surveying, estimating, and cabinetry make the students in the Architectural Design and Building Construction
Program valuable employees in the building trades. They have design experience and construction work on their resumes.
