099 INTRODUCTION TO CONCRETE (online) This
self-paced four module seminar is an introduction to the construction to
both Portland Cement
Concrete
(PCC) and Asphaltic Concrete. PCC, hereinafter called concrete, is
arguably the world’s most used construction material. Students will
become familiar with the materials and properties of each along the
manipulators used including formwork, additives, and reinforcement.
Students will develop an awareness of installation techniques for
horizontal and vertical concrete, uses for tilt-up and precast concrete.
Students will develop a working understanding of weather’s impact on
concrete and the uses of asphaltic concrete. This seminar provides both
an introduction to concrete and an opportunity to deepen your industry
knowledge of a material used all over the world in diverse conditions. |
100
INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION (online) This
self-paced six module seminar is an introduction to the construction
industry, its parties, and processes. Students will become familiar
with the different types of construction, the diverse roles, stages,
and processes of a construction project. Students will develop an
awareness of safety regulations, safety inspection, construction
documents and their uses. Students will develop a working
understanding of construction project management topics including
estimating, project management, scheduling, close out and pay out. |
101
INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING (online) Learn the basic
principles of construction estimating. Topics to be studied
include: organization of the estimate, types of
estimates, elements of an estimate, quantity take off
techniques, pricing techniques, adjusting the estimate for a
variety of variable factors, estimating labor, materials and
equipment, and profit and overhead markups. You will
learn about the different types of estimates and how to organize an
estimating document. This course will build a foundation of knowledge that
the student will use while estimating virtually any individual trade or
project type. More... |
102 ESSENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION MATH (online) This class is intended to develop mathematical skills
that can be applied to the construction trades through practice and
application. This course is an introduction to other courses in
construction. While this class is not a prerequisite for any other
classes, it does provide a foundation for them. More... |
103
CONSTRUCTION BLUEPRINT READING (online) Learn how to read
architectural, structural, civil, mechanical and electrical blueprints. We
will practice looking up information and solving common construction
problems by reading the blueprints. This
course is designed to provide you with foundational knowledge and practice at
reading blueprints. More... |
105 ESTIMATING AND
BIDDING 1 (online) This course features hands-on estimating and
quantity take off activities associated with General Conditions,
Earthwork, Site Work, Concrete and Masonry. By the end of this class you
should be able to estimate the cost of general conditions, prepare quantity take
off of excavation and backfill prepare a quantity take off of concrete, and
formwork, use unit prices to price your estimate. More... |
106 ESTIMATING AND BIDDING 2 (online) This course features hands-on
estimating and quantity take off activities associated with Metals, Wood,
Doors and Windows, Finishes, Electrical, and Mechanical
Estimating. More...
|
107
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND PRACTICES (online) Learn about quality control procedures
for various materials, material manufacturing processes and the physical
limitations of the materials we are studying. The regulatory
environment under which materials are manufactured and incorporated into
new structures will be studied. More... |
108 CONSTRUCTION
EQUIPMENT AND METHODS (online) The purpose of this
course is to give the student an overall understanding of construction
equipment and selected construction methods. This includes selection,
economy and productivity of common construction equipment and
construction procedures for site development and industrial, heavy and
civil construction. More... |
114
ESTIMATING CIVIL AND SITE WORK CONSTRUCTION (online)
This course introduces students to estimating civil engineering, heavy
construction projects, and site work construction projects. This
course will cover read and understanding civil construction plans,
determining earthwork quantities, determining crew make-up, and
fundamentals of estimating various civil and site work components More... |
|
202S ORAL AND WRITTEN
COMMUNICATIONS, STP 2 (online) This course is designed to teach you how
to
become a more effective construction supervisor by becoming a more effective
communicator. The skills you learn within the course will be put to
use right away! More... |
204P
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION LAW, STP
4 (online) Understanding the relationship between contract
documents and the construction process. We will explore contractual
relationships, legal roles and responsibilities, contract types, legal
issues including regulatory issues, liens, bonds, insurance, general
conditions, and how standardized forms are used. We will study
legal issues that often result in construction disputes including
differing site conditions, time and schedule impacts, change orders and
changed conditions. More... |
205T PLANNING AND
SCHEDULING, STP 5 (online) Students will learn how to plan,
prepare and update construction project schedules in this course. We will study construction
planning and will practice preparing a project plan. Through
the use of case studies we will learn you how to define construction activities, determine
activity duration, and assemble the activities into a logical construction
schedule. We will learn to
create and use bar charts and critical path schedules. More... |
305
BUILDING GREEN BUILDINGS: THE CONTRACTOR'S PERSPECTIVE This course
will provide construction professionals with information that will
help them to effectively bid, contract, build and close out green
building projects. More... |
