Program Guidance Element	What You Need to Know
Considerations for Selecting Degree	The Architectural and Engineering Technology degree is designed to develop qualified technicians for the field of engineering. The technician serves as an important link between the engineering professional and the skilled tradesperson in the design, construction, and operation of engineering projects. The program has significant hands-on experiences and you will have the opportunity to expose yourself to 3-D technology and design.
Considerations When Selecting Courses	The first course taken in this 65 credit hour program should be DRF 231 - Computer-Aided Drafting I. This course teaches computer-aided drafting concepts and equipment designed to develop a general understanding of components and operating a typical CAD system. A pre-requisite of DRF 111(Technical Drafting I) is highly recommended for students (but not required) who have no previous technical drawing experience. As a student, please be ready to complete two mathematics courses within your degree. They are MTH 131 (Technical Mathematics) and MTH 154 (Quantitative Reasoning). Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year Connect with an advisor at your community college and J Sargeant Reynolds Community College within your first year via College Connect
Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses	There are two mathematics courses required for this specialization. They are MTH 131 and MTH 154. MTH 131 is taken at the beginning of the course pathway and MTH 154 is taken near the end. Do not forget to take your math courses as soon as you enter the program.
Doing More With Your Degree	Some of the employment areas this degree may qualify you for are: Architect; Architectural Designer; Architectural Drafter; Architectural Draftsman; Architectural Intern; CAD Technician (Computer-Aided Design Technician); Civil Designer; Civil Drafter; Computer-Aided Design Designer (CAD Designer); Computer-Aided Design Operator (CAD Operator); Computer-Aided Design Technician (CAD Technician); Computer-Aided Drafting Designer (CAD Designer); Computer-Aided Drafting and Design Drafter (CADD Drafter); Drafter; Drafting Technician; Draftsman; Draftsperson; Intern Architect; and Project Manager
Program Successes & Highlights	The Labor Market Statistics (Richmond, MSA) Projected Employment (2028)for these related positions note 452 Current Wage Range (Entry - Experienced): $36,500 - $54,700 are forecast to be available. If you enjoy working with your hands, project management, or a combination of both, you will have the opportunity to explore many entry level points in Building Construction Management. Our faculty with many years of experience, will assist you in that endeavor. Please contact Professor Sid Bass (program head for Architectural and Engineering Technology at sbass@reynolds.edu.
