Associate in Industrial Technology Degree Program
Major in Building Construction Technology

Concern about building costs, home maintenance and repair, and energy efficient dwellings has elevated job market demands for skilled construction workers in practically every area of the building industry. A comprehensive program that offers practical training in the entire range of residential and light commercial building techniques, Building Construction Technology puts classroom knowledge to work in hands-on projects both on the Lex Walters Campus and outside the college community. Students get practical training in estimating building costs, carpentry, cabinet making, residential wiring, blueprint reading, brick masonry, construction, building codes and safety. A good background in economics and communications combines with a high level of skills in building techniques to prepare graduates for general construction, specialty work or supervision of construction projects. Upon completion of 80 credit hours, a student will be awarded an Associate’s Degree in Industrial Technology.
