Curriculum ARC.IBC.AAS (C235A)
Construction Technology combines a hands-on construction program with technical course study. Students will receive hands-on training in trades like carpentry, plumbing, and electricity, as well as obtain the engineering and construction skills to plan, organize, solve problems and communicate well in the execution of building projects. Students will develop financial and business knowledge to become a construction technician. Construction Technology allows students to specialize in their area of interest. Graduates could enter as project coordinators with contractors and engineers, building departments, developers and construction-related fields. The program is designed to provide student with the skills and coursework necessary to transfer to a four-year college or university if they choose.
Upon completion of this degree, the student will be able to:
- read and understand blueprint drawings;
- follow all building codes and safety procedures;
- draw and analyze construction documents;
- learn and apply state codes, laws and building regulations;
- understand and use sustainable building products;
- understand various construction technologies and how they work together to create a building;
- develop critical thinking skills to be successful in the industry;
- estimate small construction projects; and
- have the opportunity to advance in their career and continue professional development through four-year transfer programs.
