This course is designed to introduce the concepts of overall construction project management including scheduling, resource allocation, cost and technical constraints.

All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts.

This course teaches the participant the basics of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) using AutoCAD and other design software within the various fields of construction sciences and interior design. Students develop their CAD skills while working on various real world construction type projects.

This course is designed to provide the knowledge and skills required to create a CNC program that will convert stock material into a finished product on a Vertical Machining Center. The students will be capable of defining the list of required processes, their logical / optimum sequence, create the complete CNC part program, install the approopriate tools correctly, establish the program zero point, and perform corresponding tool offsets. This course is also an advanced hands-on study of Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing theory and applications using CAD/CAM software.

This course is an introduction to common building materials and construction methods including soils, aggregates, pipes, cement, concrete, asphalt, steel, wood masonry and residential and commercial building materials.

In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

Students will produce and troubleshoot CNC mill set-ups from job packets and machine parts to blueprint specifications. Students will learn simple G and M codes, download programs to machines, graphically verify programs, and prove out parts on 3-axis machining centers using various CNC controllers. Set-ups will include face, end, and profile milling and drilling, slotting, boring, and tapping operations. Students will also learn to produce some simple tooling necessary to complete various set-ups.

Reviews the four basic mathematical operations on whole numbers, fractions and decimals. Also covers basic algebra and trigonometry related to technical fields.
