Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Technology - AAS-T
Credits: 95 | Length of Program: 6 quarters
Subject: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Technology
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Technology - Associate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T)
This program differs from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Technology Associate in Applied Science degree by offering more general education as part of the core requirement, making it more transferrable to colleges and universities who chose to articulate with South Puget Sound Community College. The only current accepted articulation for this AAS-T degree is with The Evergreen State College as part of their up-side-down degree.

Program graduates will use industry standard software tools to translate conceptual ideas into 2D plans and 3D models. Experienced workers may advance to project managers, virtual design and construction (VDC) coordinators, plan checkers, detailers and/or BIM technicians. A typical work week will consist of 40 hours, but overtime may be required to meet deadlines. Graduates can work for engineering and architectural firms, contractors, government agencies, and a wide variety of related industries.
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Technology (AEC) Program takes a minimum of six quarters of full-time studies for the Associate in Applied Science-Transfer degree.
At the completion for the AEC Technology Program, the successful student will be able to:
- Use industry standard software to:
a) Communicate how a building is constructed
b) Identify conflicts between and among building systems
c) Design large public works infrastructures
d) Create virtual building models
