The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers. Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.
The BS in Engineering Technology - Concentration in Architectural Design Technology (ADT) is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:
- Integrated Design Proficiency: Skill in creating detailed architectural plans, utilizing 3D modeling tools (e.g., AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit) and coordinating seamless integration of structural, electrical, and mechanical designs.
- Code Compliance and Regulations: Ability to navigate and apply building codes and regulations effectively, ensuring designs meet local and national standards.
- Project Management and Communication: Competence in project management, including estimating and scheduling, coupled with strong communication skills to convey design concepts convincingly to stakeholders.
- Sustainable Design and Energy Modeling: Knowledge of sustainable design principles and practices coupled with the ability to use energy modeling tools for assessing environmental impacts in architectural projects.
- Problem-Solving and Adaptability: Capacity to identify and solve complex design challenges coupled with a commitment to continuous learning and adaptability to evolving industry trends and technologies.
