 The Building Construction Technology curriculum is designed to provide students with an overview of the building construction industry. Construction lab/lecture courses and other related classes, provide students with up-to-date knowledge on materials, trends, and techniques of the ever-changing construction industry. Course work includes basic construction concepts such as general construction, blueprint reading, construction estimating, and project management. Students will also diversify their knowledge of construction in other areas like electrical wiring, construction surveying, plumbing, static/strength of materials, and HVAC. Graduates should qualify for entry-level jobs in any general construction setting and should be able to advance quickly to management positions such as supervisors, superintendents, project coordinators, project planners, estimators, and inspectors. Employment Opportunities Successful graduates of the Building Construction Technology curriculum often find employment opportunities in general construction settings. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment opportunities within construction fields are expected to increase 10-20% over the next ten years. |
