Construction Technology - Carpentry Program

Associate of Applied Science Degree

Construction Technology - Carpentry

Students enrolling in the Construction Technology – Carpentry program will develop their communication and construction skills enabling them to enter a career in residential or commercial construction.  The program coursework will provide the student with a mix of technical education, general studies, theory and hands-on learning experiences.  As students progress in the program they will gain the knowledge and ablity to draft, read and interpret building codes for a set of construction blueprints, and estimate the amount of material and time required to construct a building with the use of estimating handbooks, spreadsheets and prevailing wage tables.  Students will learn how to lay out a building on a site and “attach” the building to the site with concrete footings and foundation walls.  Students will then progress through the floor, wall and roof framing, exterior and interior finishing, door and window installation and roofing. 

 

Upon the completion of the required coursework, students will be eligible for certification with National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) National Registry and a one-year Certificate of Applied Science or a two year Associate of Applied Science degree.

 

Students entering the program should have good manual dexterity skills, like to work outdoors in changing weather conditions and be comfortable working at varying heights.
