Associate of Applied Science in Construction
The objective of this program is to prepare the student to work in a leadership role in the building construction field. The program coursework will include 60 credits and will fulfill the general education requirements for an Associate degree and specific coursework in construction. The program is designed to train the student through the construction timeline of a building project. The student will learn construction materials, site construction, foundation, and concrete construction, building framing construction, masonry construction, plumbing construction, HVAC construction, envelope construction, electrical construction as well as construction drawings, mechanics, leadership development, technical communication, and accounting practices for the industry.
The student will work daily with construction drawings, construction specifications and product specifications acutely preparing them for actual field conditions. The students will be ready to engage in the work that increasingly involves automation, AI, robots, technology, and the global business landscape. In addition, General Education credits per the standards of the Department of Education for an AAS degree are included. The Associate of Applied Science in Construction program devotes 35% (21 out of 60 credits) of its instruction to General Education with at least one Humanities/Fine Arts, one Math/Hard Science, and one Behavioral Science.
