Research shows that design can be an important competitive strategy. In one such study, Danish companies that invested in design had an increase their gross revenues over five year that was 22 per cent higher than companies that did not invest in design. Whether you're interest is in architectural technology or civil engineering technology or interior decorating, interior design or industrial design, get ready to turn your ideas into reality.
This preparatory program is an excellent choice if you want to upgrade your portfolio of work before pursuing further education in technical design. Students develop a good understanding of the principles/development of skills fundamental to success while gaining theoretical and practical technology experience. Skilled instructors teach detailed courses covering two-dimensional drawing, three-dimensional drawings, colour, drafting, etc. Upon completion, students will be able to make an informed decision about which discipline is best suited to their skills and interests.
