The Department included programs in metalwork, graphic and furniture design, architectural design, drafting, ceramics, leatherwork, and technical education. It is now part of the Department of Technology with concentrations available in Appropriate Technology, Building Science, Graphic Arts, Industrial and Interior Design, Technical Photography and Technology Education.
