You'll immerse first-year students in transformative, project-based learning inside our state-of-the-art facility. They'll master 2D and 3D computer design using professional-grade software, develop real blueprints, operate 3D printers, and build a working command of core engineering and architectural principles. You'll forge partnerships with local firms, studios, and manufacturers�bringing the outside world into your classroom and sending your students into it.
Year Two: Raise the Bar
Second-year students tackle advanced design challenges alongside industry professionals and earn internationally recognized certifications�SolidWorks Professional, Revit Architecture, and Additive Manufacturing. Under your guidance, they'll develop sophisticated technical skills, manage complex projects from concept to completion, and graduate with a portfolio, a certification, and the confidence to compete.
Every Day: Inspire
You'll create a safe, energizing learning environment where curiosity is rewarded and ambition is expected. You'll collaborate across SRTC's 25 programs to unlock interdisciplinary opportunities and bring real-world projects into your classroom. When your students graduate, they'll be ready to join established firms, launch their own businesses, or pursue advanced education�on their terms.
