1 Building Construction Technology 1 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY Rock Creek Campus Building 2, Room General Information Design/Build Remodeling or Building Construction Construction Management Career and Program Description Career possibilities exist for those going into business for themselves or seeking employment in the construction industry. PCC offers associate degrees and a certificate in several construction industry specialties. This program is designed to help students develop the technical qualifications and life skills needed to enter the construction industry, as well as to help those currently in the construction trades upgrade and learn new skills. Building Construction Technology AAS Degree: This degree is designed to help students learn the skills a carpenter needs to build a house. Coursework includes hands-on instruction in the BCT shop, or at the BCT work site, in Tool Safety, Residential Concrete, Floor/Wall/Roof Framing, Exterior/Interior Finish, Cabinetmaking, and Remodeling. Classroom instruction consists of lectures and exercises that will teach skills in Residential Printreading, Materials and Methods, Building Codes, Estimating, Construction Math, Drafting, and Sustainable Building. Graduates might work in the construction field as framers, carpenters, remodelers, site supervisors, concrete workers, siding installers, roofers, trim carpenters, etc. After gaining job site experience, graduates might even start their own construction companies. For specific courses required to complete this degree, see the term by term list under Building Construction Technology. For students who plan to complete the degree in two years, fall term is the best time to begin, since most courses are only offered once each year. However, many students enter the program in winter, spring, or summer terms. Students who enter the program during these terms should see a BCT advisor during their first term for help in sequencing courses. Design/Build Remodeling AAS Degree: This degree offers coursework in building construction and interior design with a focus on kitchen and bath remodeling and design. This degree is accredited by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and follows NKBA kitchen and planning guidelines. Upon graduation, students can take the Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) exam and after gaining additional experience take the Certified Kitchen and/or Bath exam to become a certified designer. A graduate might work as a kitchen and/or bath designer, remodeler, cabinet installer, project superintendent, project manager, estimator, or showroom and sales associate. College level reading and writing skills, basic math skills are required. Individual courses may have prerequisites which are included in the course description. A C or better grade is required in all course work in this program option. Pass/No Pass grades are not accepted. Students must complete the coursework requirements outlined in the PCC catalog under Associates of Applied Science Degree. Students desiring to use this degree as their NKBA education requirement for the AKBD exam must complete a 160 hour internship with a company engaged in the kitchen and bath industry, in addition to the classes listed below. Construction Management AAS Degree: Our Construction Management (CM) program provides students with the technical and management skills and qualifications necessary to secure employment in a management capacity within the construction industry. Our curriculum prepares students for entry level management and supervisory positions in the residential and commercial fields of construction, offering classes in estimating, scheduling, construction law, safety, building systems, materials and methods of construction, blueprint reading, project management and more. CM graduates seek employment as project engineers, estimators, schedulers, project managers and field supervisors. Others become owner s representatives, developers, and general and specialty contractors. Graduates who earn the AAS degree in Construction Management may transfer to Oregon Institute of Technology to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Operations Management. Also, a Bachelor s of Applied Science in Technology and Management is offered to AAS CM degree holders by both OIT and Southern Oregon University (SOU). The SOU program is online. OIT offers courses at OIT s Portland Metro area campus in Wilsonville.
