Construction Technology prepares students with entry level skills for the construction industry.  The Certificate of Applied Science, or one-year Carpentry Program, includes site layout, framing, floors, walls, and roofs, as well as interior and exterior finishing, and welding.  The two-year Associate of Applied Science program adds stationary tools, construction management, construction estimating, light equipment and rigging, and special topics in construction.  These classes are taught using a combination of classroom work and hands-on building.  Students will need professional tools to gain employment upon graduation; therefore, they are required to purchase a tool set outlined in the tool section.
