- If you do not place into MTH 113 College Algebra with Trig the prerequisite is MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics. Math Placement is determined by the Mathematics Department. This course should be taken in high school or the summer before your first semester at ECC.
Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of basic construction principles and materials;
- Understand architectural and engineering drawings including scale and orthographic projection;
- Design various architectural projects including site layout and building features;
- Design structures utilizing functional as well as aesthetic considerations;
- Demonstrate ability to conduct architectural presentations for graphics and design pin-ups;
- Demonstrate knowledge of architectural history, including it influences design today; and
- Utilize computer software applications including computer aided design (CAD).
