Program Title: Construction Technology	Faculty: Richard Olguin / Mark Jones
Academic Year:2004-2008	Prior Plan
The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Construction Technology is offered to meet the needs of the student who wishes to prepare for a broad range of technical skills applicable to many positions within the construction industry. This program prepares the student for the challenges they will face to advance in the trades as a responsible professional craftsman.

TSJC Mission Linkage	Program Goal and Objective	Assessment Method	Data Collection	Mechanics and Results
Goal 2 - Student Success 2a. To educate and qualify students for careers in technical fields and to assist them in securing employment in these fields.	Graduates from the certificate program will be able to enter the construction field in a carpentry level job or higher. Graduates from the AAS degree program will be able to enter the construction field at a lead, foreman, management or self employed position	VE-135	Every spring previous year’s graduates are contacted	CTE office will collect VE-135 data from students. This data is also sent to the state. See results
	Students will have the skills and confidence to handle a wide range of carpentry tasks on their own after successfully passing, and have the basic skills to build upon for a career in the construction industry	Pre/post test Module tests during chapters and topics and at end of chapters, quizzes, and graded on to- scale models of  different components of a building or home	Data collected will be used to see where the students strength and weaknesses are and help them to gain better understanding in the areas they need help in	Class-specific results are reported each semester in the online assessment form. Results
	Students will obtain certification in various tools, methods, equipment and materials	Pass industry testing and certification for the following. · Skid-steer operator · Powder-actuated tools · Fire stop · 30-Hr OSHA · ICF installation	Testing for these certifacates is given by individuals in the industry and given to meet industry standards	Results are collected and reviewd by the construction technology program and the specific industry testing agencie
	Students will meet with individuals who are involved in the construction industry, including contractors and inspectors, and be able to work with them in a professional capacity	Students are required to meet with and submit applications for building permits, submit letters of approval from engineers and architects	Students will be evaluated by the before mentioned individuals, and will be graded according to the outcome of their applications and letters.	Results collected from the before mentioned individuals will be used to determine where the students strengths and weaknesses are in communication and math skills so that we can give individual attention to the student in the areas needed Data collected is reviewed in the construction technology program and by the const. tech advisory board
	The students will learn the basic math functions and formulas to complete the before mentioned problems	Figure mathematical formulas with inspectors, vendors and engineers for spans, volume , quantities, costs, time- projections, and estimating	Evaluations are collected through project estamates, classroom testing, and job specifacation datat sheets	Data collected is evaluated in the construction technology program to help determine the students grasp of concepts and formulas used in the construction industry
