Construction Technology

A.A.S. DEGREE

Description
Graduates of Construction Technology will be part of a team responsible for the coordination and implementation of construction projects. Some of the duties performed would include cost estimating, project management, and project scheduling. This specialization combines these courses with knowledge of core technical courses such as elementary structures, soils, concrete, and surveying; and integrates them with their applications in the construction of buildings, roads and other projects.

Program Learning Outcomes
1) Perform necessary surveys for construction site layout
2) Interpret construction drawings and perform quantity surveys and estimates
3) Plan, schedule and coordinate residential, commercial or heavy construction projects
4) Update drawings for a residential, commercial or heavy construction projects
5) Interpret and apply appropriate building and structural codes
6) Perform shop and field calculations
7) Perform basic computer applications required for basic construction management
8) Prepare and interpret materials technical and general specifications
9) Apply construction management principles to a construction project
10) Select appropriate construction equipment and production control techniques for site work
11) Perform fundamental design calculations based on building, scaffolding, concrete form, or shoring loads
12) Communicate the technical requirements of a construction project to all parties involved in the construction process
13) Plan and implement a construction safety program
