Building Information and 3D Modeling Certificate of Achievement

This certificate is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, urban planning, interior design, landscape design, manufacturing, construction, and related fields. Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Rhino, Grasshopper, and REVIT are the primary tools used to produce and present documents in these fields. The built environment reflects society, and it impacts how people live. Therefore, this certificate incorporates contributions from historically underrepresented architects, engineers, urban planners, interior designers, and accessibility advocates.

California community colleges charge an enrollment fee rather than tuition. At $46 per unit for California residents, this 16-unit award comes to $736.00.

SBVC's remaining fees cannot be added to that figure honestly: Health & Accident is $26.00 for Fall and Spring and $22.00 for Summer, transportation and the $2 Student Representation fee are per term, and the $1 per-unit Campus Center fee is capped at $10 a year. The catalog does not publish how many terms this award runs, so no all-in total is shown. Non-residents pay $414 per unit plus a $200 per-unit capital outlay charge.
