What is Construction Technology?

The Construction Technology program is designed to prepare students for entry level positions in the construction industry.

Residential and light commercial construction applications are taught. This program includes instructional units in blueprint reading, building site layout procedures, foundation systems, light framing construction methods, exterior and interior finish systems, concrete forming systems and construction safety.

Units of instruction are designed to include lectures and practical experience in the lab or on-site projects. This program also offers an excellent prerequisite for students that plan to pursue a career in areas such as construction management, civil engineering, or architectural design.

Each year, students take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to the construction of a home. The “Mayo Home” is constructed by the students from start to finish and proceeds from the sale of the home will fund the next year’s project. 

This unique learning approach allows students to apply what they have learned in a practical manner.
