Students who complete the Building Construction Technology Program will be able to: Review a typical set of residential or light commercial construction plans and analyze, interpret, extract and define basic structural and finish components and/or systems necessary for project construction. Analyze and compute "Early Start" and "Late Start" and "Early Finish" and "Late Finish" times and "Total Float" associated with a basic network diagram for a construction project utilizing "Activity on the Node" (AON) when sequencing and activity time durations are defined. Locate, identify, and correctly apply building code constraints to a specific design or construction problem Students will be assessed through a combination of performance evaluations, written assignments, and written tests and quizzes.
