About the course

Humber’s Architectural Technology advanced diploma program will train you to use your logical and critical thinking skills as you apply architectural technology to construction and building design.

　　You will learn from award-winning professors and licensed architects who bring real-life perspective and valuable industry contacts to you. The curriculum is designed with industry collaboration, ensuring you are learning current and relevant material. In the program, you will learn:

　　computer-aided drawing, building methods and project management using the most current computer programs such as Revit (Building Information Modelling), AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign and SketchUP

　　construction technologies with materials such as wood frame, steel, masonry and precast concrete, mass timber, and hybrid systems

　　hands-on skills including building code, building specifications, estimating, construction contract administration, and structural and environmental systems

　　sustainable architecture, passive house design and net zero design and construction methods needed to reduce carbon emissions and the impact of climate change in the architectural technology field

　　Work Placement

　　This program offers a co-op option. Participating in co-op will enable you to gain valuable hands-on work experience related to your program of study, and enhance your career-readiness when you graduate. You apply first to the regular academic program. During Semester 2 you will have the opportunity to apply to the co-op stream. For students who are accepted into co-op, three consecutive, paid co-op work terms will take place between Semesters 4 and 5. Work terms are four months each, for a total of 12 months (one year) of work experience, prior to the final year of study.

　　While co-op work opportunities are not guaranteed, as students are in a competitive job placement market, participating students will receive a wide range of services to help them succeed in their job search and entry into the workplace. Humber also works with business, industry and government to identify placement opportunities for students.

　　Your Career

　　Build a strong future for yourself with a career in architectural technology.

　　Building construction is rapidly changing, and that new reality for the whole sector will emerge soon. New material technologies have transformed architectural technology into a promising career field combined with energy-affected design and building information modelling software, providing a need for new graduates to enter the architectural technology field.
