AA/AS in Architectural Engineering Technologies/Technicians

This associate degree prepares students for technical roles supporting licensed architects, engineers on construction projects and city planners. Graduates may also work as draftspersons, building appraisers or inspectors. Students develop skills in architectural drafting, computer-assisted design, how buildings are built and with what materials, building codes, structural principles, cost estimation and three-dimensional modeling. Some courses transfer toward bachelor's degrees in architecture. Soft skills such as communication, collaboration and attention to detail are part of the training. The Architectural Technology program is planned as 4 semesters and 66 credits, using a mix of in-person and online delivery. Delta College publishes an estimated cost covering tuition and fees, with separate figures for in-district, out-of-district and out-of-state students. Prospective students can also talk with a Student Success Advisor about career goals and pathways. Course sequences and transfer options are listed on the program page.
