Architecture reflects the lifestyle of whole society. Archi- tecture technology provides student with an excellent op- portunity to obtain both quality and affordable education. It bridges the gap between school and undergraduate degrees and equips student with technical skills by pro- viding technical training so they can enter the workforce we should focus more on technical education as Pakistan is categorized as developing nation.

We must progress as a nation and problems such as un- employment should be solved.

We offer 3 years Diploma of Associate Engineering course in first year we teach basic courses of building materials, computer aided drafting, Architectural graphics and In- troduction to architecture etc. In Second year we teach Architectural Drawing and Design, Building construction-

al, History of Architecture, Surveying and leveling. In third year along other subjects they learn to estimate the build- ings along model making and one project. They also learn construction management of different types of projects.

After qualifying the diploma they have two choices either to join jobs in private and Govt offices or for further stud- ies and join the degree course from NCA, UET, Comsats or Punjab University etc.
