Students will learn how to develop and implement safety programs that prevent accidents, protect workers, and minimize risks on construction projects. The course emphasizes practical approaches to safety management, including site inspections, incident investigations, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

This course is a hands-on construction lab experience where students will learn the training necessary to allow them to be employable in a construction-related field and to perform required duties safely. Each semester students will participate in available projects as determined by the instructor. The projects will vary from semester to semester based on local need and student interest.

This course is designed to provide hands-on work experience in the building construction and construction management fields. Internships are an opportunity for students to link theory with practical experience. They are also designed to help students network with professionals, increasing opportunities for full-time employment after graduation. Internships are individually arranged by the student in collaboration with a construction management faculty member and a supervisor at the workplace.

This course provides practical hands-on learning experiences in layout procedures and erection of floor, wall, ceiling, stairs, and roof construction of a residential house. The course includes a study of the various kinds of insulations and their appllications on project house.

This is an introductory course on construction materials, methods, and professional practices for architecture and construction majors. Students gain foundational knowledge of construction components, including their properties, performance requirements, and methods of assembly, and explore how these components are organized into building systems. The course provides insight into best practices across architecture, construction, and related industries.

This course provides instruction in the principles and procedures used in the design, layout, and construction of cabinets for a residential home. It includes practical experiences in building quality cabinets for a residential home. The course also includes a familiarization of tools, materials, and process of the woodworking industry with an emphasis on safety.

This course introduces the practical application of the International Residential Code (IRC) with an emphasis on inspection procedures and requirements for residential and light commercial construction. Students will apply the IRC to a small residential design project to determine code compliance. The National Green Building Standard is also covered as part of the coursework.

In this class, students design and create their own CNC woodworking projects. Students will learn CNC operation, design principals, and techniques. This course also introduces software programming for a woodworking CNC machine.

This course teaches the student the theory and practice of planning, scheduling, and controlling the time and cost of construction projects. The course covers various advanced techniques such as cost duration analysis, critical path, Gantt charts, cost control, and value engineering. The course teaches the use of contemporary computerized software systems with hands-on application.

This course is a wood project construction course with experience in milling, assembling, and designing wood projects. Emphasis is placed on layout and construction techniques. The instruction in the making of high-end furniture, including the various types of joinery and finishes will be covered. This course was previously listed as Woodworking Technology.

This course introduces methods of construction estimating and estimates used in residential construction. The course covers the stages of preparing construction estimates and construction document analysis. Topics include an estimator’s qualifications and the role of the estimating team, the process, accuracy, consolidation and bid preparation, submittal, and cost analysis. The course emphasizes quantity take-offs of general conditions, sitework, concrete, masonry, structural steel, wood and plastics, thermal and moisture control, and finish materials, as well as the use of computer estimating.

This course provides an in-depth study of a particular topic in construction. The topic changes each semester and can vary between sections. These courses are designed for students wanting additional study beyond the standard lower-division courses in the discipline. These courses have variable credits, from one to three, and are repeatable for different topics.

This course is a second-year course designed to provide hands-on work experience in building construction and construction management fields. Internships are an opportunity for students to link theory with practical experience.
