Describe and demonstrate the proper safe usage of tools and equipment and practices utilized in the construction industry; predict and evaluate common safety hazards. 2. Describe and compare floor foundations and pre-cast and evaluate the advantages of each. 3. Discuss methods of concrete estimating. 4. Describe and compare lumber grades and grading for the construction industry. 5. Discuss current building codes applicable to residential construction both conventional and insulated block forming relative to California Green Technology and "Net Zero Energy" policies.” 6. Discuss the future of construction utilizing sustainable building practices. 7. Use math skills to layout and build a foundation and rough frame. 8. Solve arithmetic function including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages as related to construction topics. 9. Demonstrate fluency in reading a set of plans and understanding the installation process for sub-trades including, structural steel, light gauge metal framing, dry mechanical, plumbing, and electrical. 10. Identify and develop materials list. Laboratory Objectives: 1. Practice safe usage of tools and equipment utilized in the construction industry; 2. Demonstrate the use of construction math to evaluate materials needed from a set of plans. 3. Design a foundation system utilizing concrete forms to adhere to current code requirements. 4. Estimate the amounts of concrete needed for distinct types of foundations. 5. Compare and contrast floor systems and evaluate the advantages of each. 6. Compare four lumber grades (select structural, select 1&2, economy) and evaluate the standards for acceptance. 7. Construct a foundation and framing system project utilizing metal studs and structural steel applications according to standard practices of the trade and adhering to applicable building code requirements. 8. Identify methods of quality control, moisture protection, waterproofing (including testing) and assurances. Methods of Evaluation Projects Skill Demonstrations Reading Assignments 1. Read assigned pages in textbook and be prepared to discuss the procedure for pouring concrete slabs. 2. Construct a drawing of two different floor systems as described in the readings and be prepared to discuss in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Layout and square a foundation per plan requirements as described in lecture. 2. Calculate the amount of concrete needed from foundation plan. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) Construct a foundation and floor system project. Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Other materials and-or supplies required of students that contribute to the cost of the course.
