Show College of Applied Science & Technology 101 Parson Construction Management Technology Department Department Chair: Joseph Wolfe Location: WSU Davis D3, Room 310 Telephone Contact: Andrea Stuart 801-395-3427 Email: ParsonCMT@weber.edu Professor: Steven Peterson; Associate Professors: Chris Soelberg, Joseph Wolfe; Instructors: Pieter van der Have The Parson Construction Management Technology program teaches the processes, procedures and management techniques necessary to function as a "Professional Constructor" as defined by the American Institute of Constructors and the American Council of Construction Education (ACCE). It is designed to prepare students for immediate professional level employment or further study by developing a cohesive, solid technical foundation bolstered by practical, hands-on experiences, at the same time providing the education necessary for lifelong learning in a changing world. The process of learning is emphasized, as well as accumulation of knowledge. The multi-disciplinary curriculum is composed of courses in the areas of construction science, construction practice, business, and management as well as general education. The program is accredited by the American Council of Construction Education. The Construction Management Program-Facilities Management Emphasis prepares graduates to manage and maintain the physical facilities for companies. Facilities managers may be responsible for leading activities in all or parts of the following: managing operations and maintenance of buildings, physical plant and utility distribution systems, grounds upkeep, or ad and parking lot maintenance, snow removal; recycling and waste management, energy conservation, sustainability; long rang facility planning, remodeling of existing facilities and planning, design and construction of new facilities and systems; code compliance. The Parson Construction Management Technology curriculum is a "2+2" design facilitating articulation with programs in architecture, commercial building construction, design graphics, facilities and other construction-related degrees. Parson Construction Management Technology Courses Apprenticeship (AAS) The Associate of Applied Science in Apprenticeship degree is a generic degree that is specifically designed for students who have completed or are completing an apprenticeship program under the auspices of the Office of Apprenticeship. This degree consists of the apprenticeship courses and on-the-job training from the Ogden Weber Applied Technology College (OWATC) coupled with general education and two additional required courses from Weber State University. While the degree was developed for OWATC apprenticeship students, it is open to anyone who meets the qualifications of an apprentice with a certificate of proficiency from a post-secondary institution offering the Office of Apprenticeship (OA) certified program.
