Tools of Construction (4) Safety, maintenance, and skill development for hand and power tools in the building industry. Two hours lecture and six hours lab each week. 102. Materials of Construction (3) Physical characteristics, applications, sources, standard sizes, and packaging of building materials, including concrete, woods, thermal materials, finishes, and specialties. Two hours lecture and 2 hours lab each week. 103. Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Related Trades (3) Methods of heating, venting and air conditioning systems, including heat loss computation and alternate energy sources. Specifications, installation and evaluation of plumbing, and electrical systems for residential and light commercial buildings. 210. Applied Building Systems I (5) Training in building systems with hands-on experience in site layout, footings, foundations, framing methods, roofing, exterior and interior finished, HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, painting, and concrete. Projects vary and cover residential and small commercial applications. The order and intensity of training will vary with the type of projects; however, all subject materials will be covered each three-quarter cycle. 211. Applied Building Systems II (5) Continuation of Constc 210. 212. Applied Building Systems III (5) Continuation of Constc 210 and 211. 232. Cabinet and Millwork (3) A course dealing with experiences of fine carpentry and millwork, using techniques of cabinet work. Prerequisite: Constc 101. One hour lecture five hours lab each week. 240. Building Codes, Inspection and Zoning (3) A course dealing with building inspection, local zoning ordinances and the Uniform Building Code. Class will be an indepth study and the student should already have a basic knowledge of building materials, construction techniques, plans and specifications. Suggested prerequisite: Constc 102. 289. Cooperative Work Experience (1-6) Open to all second year students in Construction Technology. The course objective for each student will be developed between the student the department and a suitable employer providing the opportunity for on-the-job experience. Evaluation of course participants will be shared between the employer, the student and the department. 292. Short Courses, Workshops, Institutes and Special Programs (1-6) In order to provide flexibility and to meet many different needs, a number of specific offerings are possible using this catalog number. This is intended for second-year construction students to acquire practical experience in project planning and supervision. 243 Design & Graphics Technology Design and Graphics Technology Description The Design and Graphics Technology program is responsible for providing the skills and technical knowledge to students entering the Design/Drafting occupations. The major categories under which Design/Drafters jobs are classified are: Architectural/Structural Drafting, Civil Drafting, Electro/Mechanical Drafting, and Mechanical/Tool drafting. An Associate of Applied Science Degree is offered in these four areas. As our physical world becomes more technical and sophisticated, structures, tools and machines become more complicated. This is one reason that computers are moving into the drafting room. Many industries are looking to the computer to help solve their Design/Drafting needs. Computer-aided equipment enables the designer to analyze and design a part accurately and rapidly. The specifications of that design can be stored, and then recalled for further modification and evaluation at a later date. Once the design has been finalized, the computer-aided design process is used to produce the final working drawing. The computer-aided drafting process is emphasized in all classes and will receive an increasing thrust in the future. Computer applications are applied in selected units of most courses. Education The first year program is intended to provide students with the background and skills to enter the job market as beginning junior drafters. A certificate may be given to students who complete this one-year course. Instruction in the second year is organized to develop the students' technical knowledge and skills in the four occupational areas. Associate of Applied Science graduates are qualified to enter the drafting occupations as beginning Drafters. If students desire to continue their education in the Mechanical/Tool specialty, they can acquire a diploma after their third year of school which would allow them to enter the job market as beginning mechanical tool design drafters. Students may continue their schooling through a fourth year and obtain a B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology with an emphasis in Computer-aided Design or Tool Design. Some adjustments will need to be made with the program manager and department chairperson. Job opportunities are expected to be favorable through the 80's because of very rapid growth in technology. Prospects will be best for those having post high school drafting design training. Career Opportunities Architectural/structural drafters make sketches and drawings of buildings, structures and houses. They may assist in making estimates for project costs. Industries which utilize this experience are home contractors, building contractors, architectural and structural firms and steel manufacturers. Civil Drafters make sketches and drawings of roads, culverts, sewage disposal systems, tunnels, topographical profiles and related maps and planning sheets used in construction of highways and river improvements. They may work with survey crews to collect data for construction drawings. Those utilizing this experience include: department of highways, forestry, county recorder's offices, city engineering firms and departments of public works. Mechanical tool drafters make sketches and drawings of machine parts, sub-assemblies, equipment tools, jigs, fixtures, fasteners and other engineering data. Industries which utilize this experience include engineering consulting firms, manufacturers, development laboratories, government agencies and machine shops. Electro-mechanical drafters make sketches and drawings of combinations of electrical and mechanical parts, such as chassis, relay transformers, equipment frames, electrical packages, motors and instrumentation. Those utilizing this experience include engineering consulting firms, electronic firms, manufacturers, development laboratories and government organizations.
