Construction Technology
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 as outlined in the tool section.

Computer Aided Drafting
The Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) focus will provide students with a solid foundation in the utilization of CAD as a tool
for various drafting technologies. Those students who are exploring the field of Computer Aided Design, or need to develop
CAD skills, will find this certificate challenging and beneficial for future applications. Students are able to select Architecture
or Technical options. This focus is designed to be completed in correlation with an A.A.S. degree, and it will take 3 semesters
to complete the sequence.
