Construction Management Orientation (1) F This course provides an overview of the history of the U.S. construction industry with particular focus on the social, cultural, and economic trends, issues and events that impact and shape the industry and its occupations. The course is also designed to help students develop a clearer focus on their educational and occupational goals. (Available online) CMT 1150. Construction Graphics (3) F Students will gain knowledge of and experience graphical communications as used in the construction industry. Includes print reading and interpretation of all architectural, electrical, and mechanical systems diagrams. Residential and commercial plans will be used. Prerequisite: CMT 1210 (can be taken concurrent). CMT 1210. Residential Construction Materials and Methods (3) F The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge of residential building techniques and materials. The course will examine common construction materials, components, and systems as related to wood frame structures. Applicable building codes are also discussed as they relate to various materials and the methods of construction for Utah. The residential construction process will be analyzed from site planning to finish construction. The course also includes editing related specifications and determining cost estimates. Site visits and a glossary project will be used to document the construction process as well as show practical applications of construction techniques. (Available online) CMT 1310. Commercial Construction Materials & Methods (3) 5 The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge of commercial building techniques and materials. Basic materials and installation methods for commercial construction are studied; which include Site-work, Concrete, Masonry, Metals, Curtain-walls, Finishes. Applicable building codes, written specifications, and cost estimating will be discussed as they relate to these various construction methods. Students will build scale models or draw details of these construction methods, and make construction site visits to enhance their understanding of construction techniques. Prerequisite: CMT 1210. (Available online) CMT 1500. Computer Applications in Construction(2) 5 Computer applications used in the construction field will be examined in areas of cost estimating, project scheduling, CAD design, and construction management. Various software packages will be introduced and examined specifically to their application in the construction industry. Prerequisite: TBE TE1700. (Available online) CMT 2220. Construction Contracts and Specifications (3) 5 Students will gain knowledge in the legal aspects of contracts and bidding types of construction documents including bonds; interpretation of technical building specifications and their application to selection and installation of materials, equipment and systems. The Construction Specification Institute Index System (CSI) data base will be used. Students will study contracts and specifications as supplied by architects, government agencies, and professional contracting organizations such as the AGC (Association of General Contractors), ABC (Associated Building Contractors), and the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders). (Available online) CMT SI2330. Concrete Technology (3) 5 The student will obtain knowledge of concrete, its physical and mechanical properties, and the design and control of the concrete mixes. They will also obtain knowledge in the various forming systems used in residential and commercial construction. CMT 2340. Construction Surveying (2) 5 The student will perform basic surveying operations necessary for the location, layout, and construction of a building. Interpretation of plot books, site plans, and topographic maps is included. Prerequisite: MATH QL1080 (or MATH QL1050 and MATH 1060). (Available online) CMT 2360. Building Codes and Inspection (2) F Familiarizes students with current building codes and zoning ordinances as they apply to the construction and use of buildings. Inspection procedures used to enforce codes are also discussed. (Available online) CMT 2640. Architectural Estimating (2) 5 Developing cost and material estimates of a building project. Involves manual and computer applications in working with architectural drawings and reference materials. Prerequisites: MATH 1010 or higher, CMT 1150, CMT 1310, and CMT 1500. (Available online) CMT 2880. Internship (3) Su, F, 5 Supervised work experience in the construction industry with placement and course objectives approved by the faculty supervisor.
