31-475-301 CARPENTRY I
An introduction to residential construction practices. Fundamentals of planning, layout, foundations, and rough framing are taught in theory and through the construction of a residential structure. An emphasis is placed upon sustainable building practices. Building codes are covered and applied in practice on the building site. Prerequisite: 31-475-303. Lecture/Lab. 5 credits.
31-475-30101CARPENTRY I Part A
This one credit portion of the Carpentry I course emphasizes concepts of basic carpentry safety, interior and exterior wall construction concepts as they relate to basic residential wiring, junction box installation, insulation, sealing, and weatherization concepts as practiced by home contractors and renovators. Lecture/Lab. 1 credit.
31-475-302 CARPENTRY II
A continuation of Carpentry I. Topics include wall and roof systems, exterior wall components, soffit construction, insulation techniques and applied building codes. Student evaluate the impact of wall and roof systems materials, designs and construction methods upon energy efficiency. Theory and practice are applied on-site through the construction of a residential structure. Prerequisite: 31-475-301. Lecture/Lab. 5 credits.
31-475-303 CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
Students apply approved construction site safety and health procedures, the use of personal protection gear and the safe use of hand and power tools. Students are required to purchase a prescribed set of carpentry tools with an approximate value of $800. Lab. 1 credit.
31-475-304 CARPENTRY III
A continuation of Carpentry II. Topics include insulation, ventilation, building envelope sealing, rafter framing, trusses, special beams, and stairs. Students frame-in windows, doors, archways, bookcases, and apply other finishing considerations. Students evaluate the impact of window, door, and roofing system design and materials upon energy efficiency and environmentally sound practices. Prerequisite: 31-475-302 and 31-475-308. Lecture/Lab. 5 credits.
31-475-305 CARPENTRY IV
A continuation of Carpentry III. Students finish the interior of a building project. They hang windows and doors, building cabinets, hang and tape drywall, cut and apply trim, and install stairs and banisters. Students evaluate the impact of structural venting, sealing and insulating upon efficiency, indoor air quality, and long-range sustainability. Prerequisite: 31-475-304. Lecture/Lab. 5 credits.
31-475-308 CARPENTRY BLUEPRINT READING
Students interpret blueprints for trade information. They draw sketches to convey ideas and utilize drawing software to prepare blueprints prior to building. Students appreciate the importance of accuracy and completeness as well as material selection. Students develop a set of residential building plans. Prerequisite: 31-475-303; Co-requisites: 31-475-301 and 31-475-302. Lecture/Lab. 3 credits.
31-475-310 CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING
Students specify materials, labor, and costs associated with a construction project. They consider weather, availability of materials, special tools, and equipment that will be necessary. Students evaluate the economic impact of materials selection and disposal for energy efficiency. They coordinate work with other trades to maximize efficiency. Lecture/Lab. 2 credits.
