作为充满活力的社区的支柱
Students engage in a variety of classroom and shop activities. Theoretical principles of construction are learned in the classroom, while the majority of the time is spent in the shop where students learn and gain mastery of practical carpentry skills. Early activities include the fabrication of small projects where students learn safe practices, proper tool use and fundamental construction techniques. Gradually, students build structures of increased complexity that simulate real-world construction scenarios. Students learn to lay out buildings and to construct concrete formwork, floors, walls, roofs, and stairs in compliance with BC Building Code standards.<br>Program Outcomes<br>Upon successful completion of this program, learners will be able to:<br><br>Apply safe work practices.<br>Use construction drawings and specifications.<br>Interpret building codes and bylaws.<br>Plan and organize work.<br>Perform trade mathematics.<br>Use tools and equipment.<br>Use levelling instruments and equipment.<br>Use access, rigging, and hoisting equipment.<br>Lay out building locations.<br>Complete concrete formwork activities.<br>Demonstrate wood frame construction techniques.<br>Control the forces acting on a building.
