Students can choose courses in drafting, construction layout, estimating, management, residential construction, energy-efficient building methods, construction safety, cabinet-making, and interior finish. Students apply their studies by building a house in each year of their program.
The Associate in Applied Science Degree program is designed for students planning for leadership positions within the construction industry. The program encompasses studies in cabinetmaking and millwork, residential, commercial and industrial construction. Building science, construction estimating and scheduling, building codes, quality control and safety are integral components of this program. Students learn blueprint reading, computer-aided drafting and design, construction layout, and carpentry skills. Students apply these skills by performing field layout projects, constructing a residential building, manufacturing and installing cabinetry, and designing, placing and finishing concrete.
