Students who complete the degree program receive the Associate
in Science degree, the most respected community college degree that requires all 100-level or higher
courses. Students must complete a program of school and community service apart from coursework and present a
professional portfolio at an end-of-program event prior to graduation.
For students who cannot attend classes four days a week because of employment during daytime work hours (or for other
reasons), there is now a 3-year plan of AEC classes only two days a week.

two-year AEC program requiring about 60 credits of coursework in AutoCAD®,
Revit®, and other drawing and modeling software programs; architectural and engineering working drawings; structures and materials; field
shadowing; preparation for employment; English and mathematics; and general education. About 26 students are enrolled each year.
The program serves architectural, engineering, and related businesses on the island of Oahu (with about 90% of the State
population) and throughout the state. Many of these businesses in turn serve the wider Pacific region and surrounding
Pacific rim countries. Honolulu Community College, centrally located in the capital city of Honolulu, is the primary
technical drawing training center in the state and includes the only school-based Authorized
Autodesk Training Center in Hawai'i.
