Building Construction Technology Students will take 5 courses that will prepare them for careers in the fields of construction technology. This program will prepare students for the workforce or to continue toward a specialist s certificate, technical certificate or associate s degree in this field. Students will have the opportunity to earn industry certifications through the National Center for Construction Education & Research {NCCER}. Students who complete this program will be able to go to a contractor and start doing actual work. Approximately 50% of this program will be classroom time and 50% will be spent in the lab. 5580 Construction Trades I BCTI 100 Intro to Construction Technology 5580 Construction Trades I BCTI 101 Intro to Carpentry, part 1 5580 Construction Trades I BCTI 102 Intro to Carpentry, part 2 5578 Construction Trades II BCTI 103 Carpentry Frame/Finish, part 1 5578 Construction Trades II BCTI 104 Carpentry Frame/Finish, part 2 Intro to Construction Technology covers the NCCER Core Curriculum and is a prerequisite to most other construction courses. Its modules cover topics such as basic safety, communication skills, and introduction to construction drawings; all basic skills needed to continue education in the construction program. Intro to Carpentry, part 1 covers topics such as building materials, fasteners, adhesives, hand and power tools, introduction to construction drawings, specifications, layout, and floor systems. Intro to Carpentry, part 2 covers topics such as wall systems, ceiling joist and roof framing, basic stair layout, and introduction to building envelope systems. Carpentry Framing and Finishing, part 1 covers topics such as commercial drawings, roofing applications, thermal and moisture protection, exterior finishing, and cold- formed steel framing. Carpentry Framing and Finishing, part 2 covers the second half of NCCER Carpentry Framing and Finishing Level 2. Its modules cover topics such as drywall installation and finishing, doors and door hardware, suspended ceilings, window, door, floor, and ceiling trim, and cabinet installation.
Design Technology Students will take 5 courses that will prepare them for careers in the fields of design technology. This program will prepare students for the workforce or to continue toward a technical certificate or associate s degree in this field. Students will take DESN 101/113 to learn 2D CAD. Following that, students will take DESN 220, then DESN 104/105. The student would decide to go architectural drafting or mechanical drafting. Students can earn 2- year degree and then go straight to workforce. At this time, there are no articulation agreements between this program and 4- year degree programs. 4800 Computers in Design & Production DESN 101 Intro to Design Technology 5640 Architectural Drafting & Design I DESN 104 Mechanical Graphics 5640 Architectural Drafting & Design I DESN 105 Architectural Design I 5640 Architectural Drafting & Design I DESN 113 2- D Computer- Aided Design 5652 Architectural Drafting & Design II DESN 220 3- D Computer- Aided Design Intro to Design Technology course provides students with a basic understanding of sketching practices and the features and considerations associated with the operation of computer- aided design (CAD) systems.
