Program Overview
Construction Technology, Associate of Science (AS)
Overview
The need for residential and commercial construction is a fact of every society. With local, state, and national infrastructure (creation and maintenance) falling behind, the construction trades will more and more be in demand. With the "Green" or Sustainability direction the country is going in now, training in green job skills is imperative. And with the recent application of building science to the construction industry, new building performance standards will have to be learned by all workers, contractors, and designers.
