Building Trades Technology This program is designed
to prepare individuals who desire entry-level positions in the areas of
building construction and grounds (facility) maintenance. Students are
exposed to four program areas ~ carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and
masonry ~ and learn fundamental skills through theory and related
hands-on instruction in each area which apply to facility maintenance
jobs and residential/commercial construction. This 1080 course requires
calculators, work shoes, and safety glasses.INTRODUCTION TO
ELECTROMECHANICAL ~ 80hr/3cr
The study in the fundamentals of the
electromechanical field. Topics to be covered will include electrical
and machine safety, proper use and care of hand tools, power tools,
electrical test equipment grounding procedures, start up and shut down
of equipment, and lock-out/tag-out procedure.
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY ~ 95hr/3cr
Areas of study will be the atomic structure,
electron theories, static charges, magnetism, conductors, insulators,
capacitors, inductors, and alternating and direct currents. The concepts
and use of Ohm’s and Kirchoff’s Laws will be used to mathematically
solve series and parallel circuits.
BASIC ELECTRICAL WIRING ~ 95hr/3cr
The study of basic electrical wiring,
electrical layouts, installation and testing of various electrical
components and service entrance panels used in residential and
commercial applications in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
CARPENTRY FUNDAMENTALS ~ 90hr/3cr
This course is an introduction to tools,
materials, terminology, and procedures concerning residential
construction. Students will learn hand and power tool applications and
how to estimate building materials through the design, layout, and
construction of a scale framed structure.
CARPENTRY LEVEL II ~ 180hr/6cr
This course is a concentration of finished
carpentry related projects including sheetrock, stair layout, window and
door installation, and molding. Students are also exposed to the
construction process from design and material calculations necessary for
job estimates and proposals. MASONRY FUNDAMENTALS ~ 90hr/3cr
This course is an introduction to the tools, materials, terminology,
and procedures associated with the masonry trade. Learn to layout and
build corner leads, piers, and walls using concrete block and brick.
MASONRY LEVEL II ~ 180hr/6cr
Understanding and building with different sized masonry units
utilized in advanced building projects such as foundation walls,
reinforced masonry walls, and veneered walls. Proper mortar mixes and
fastening systems for masonry walls is also covered.
PLUMBING FUNDAMENTALS ~ 90hr/3cr
This course is the introduction to the history of plumbing tools,
materials, terminology, and procedures common to the industry. Students
will learn basic plumbing operations such as valve installation, pipe
cutting, soldering, and residential fixture repair.
PLUMBING LEVEL II ~ 180hr/6cr
This course teaches the student to install and maintain pipe systems
used in water, waste disposal, drainage, gas, heating, and ventilating.
There is emphasis on both theory and hands-on experience in a variety of
situations encountered on the job.
