CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY

 

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
South Campus

The Construction Technology program provides the student with a sound background for careers in Construction Supervision, Estimating, Building Inspection, Architect's Field Representation, Construction Management, or as a Residential or Commercial Builder. Personnel from ancillary industries, such as construction material suppliers, will also find that Construction Technology courses provide a sound background for their careers.

The primary direction of this program is to provide education and training necessary for individuals to perform at mid-management levels. The people who will benefit from this program will include supervisors, estimators, construction inspectors, architect's representatives, construction managers, and residential builders. While students without skill levels or established experience in the construction trade will be admitted to the program, it is primarily designed to upgrade the tradespeople or individuals currently employed in some aspect of the construction industry.

Program advisor Professor Martin Sirowatka can be reached at 586.445.7226.
