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 evaluate window packages as required by the building plans. 3. Identify and evaluate construction elements of roof systems. 4. Identify and describe Concrete Insulated Panels (CIP), Structural Insulated Panel (SIP), Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF), and Pre-Cast construction applications and practices in commercial and multi-use projects. 5. Identify the use and placement of structural steel in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. 6. Describe engineering practices for seismic and structural controls. 7. Discuss emerging California Green Technology, “Net Zero Energy” policies, and sustainability practices. Laboratory Objectives: 1. Practice safe usage of tools and equipment utilized in the construction industry. 2. Develop and produce window packages as required by building plans. 3. Design a complete roof system to meet structural load specs and address types of trusses used. 4. Construct a stair system using all standard code requirements. 5. Construct a framing project incorporating both green technology standards according to standard practices of the trade and adhering to all building code requirements. 6. Construct a commercial mini structure using pre-cast, cast in place, and structural steel construction methods. 7. Describe Engineering concepts that lead to project designs for seismic and structural controls. Methods of Evaluation Projects Skill Demonstrations Reading Assignments 1. Read the assigned pages in the textbook and be prepared to discuss the effects of natural defects on lumber grading. 2. Construct a drawing of the various ways to connect wall intersections both frame and ICF as described in the readings and be prepared to discuss in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Lay out exterior and interior walls per floor plan requirements as described in lecture. 2. Calculate all rafter lengths from the roof plan utilizing the rafter tables. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) Construct a major framing 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.
