Construction Management Technology,
Associate in Applied Science (CTEC)
The program in Construction Management is intended to prepare graduates
for employment in the construction industry as entry-level assistants to project
managers, engineers, field superintendents, estimators, expediters and
inspectors. Emphasis is placed on the development of knowledge and skills in
modern information systems as they relate to strategic planning and process
management, while completing a basic survey of the theory and technology of
the construction industry. The program has been designed to meet the needs
of a variety of students. These students range from skilled trade workers who
seek supervisory or management positions to recent high school graduates
beginning a career in the field of Construction Management.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Interpret construction specifications and drawings.
• Research methods and materials for construction projects under the
supervision of an engineer or architect.
• Assemble basic information needed to estimate quantities and costs of
construction materials and components.
• Evaluate accurate observations of construction projects for conformance
with construction documents.
• Communicate effectively as a member of the construction project team.
• Provide to, and obtain from, the project schedule, information relevant to
project management.
• Use contemporary information systems in the context of
construction management.
The associate degree in applied science will be awarded after satisfactory
completion of the four-semester program.

Early Childhood Education, Associate in
Applied Science (ECE)
The Early Childhood Education program prepares students to work with
young children in a variety of settings that require understanding of how
children grow, learn and develop. Such trained personnel are in demand at day
care centers, private nursery schools, Head Start centers, Montessori schools,
church pre-school programs, public schools, hospitals and therapy centers.
Program emphasis is on working with normal children; however, problems
relating to exceptional children, such as gifted, retarded, emotionally disturbed,
culturally different and brain injured are considered.
The field experience and practicum (ECE 121,122) provide opportunities for
students to become involved in actual work with children and to share
experiences with fellow students. In conjunction with class work, students are
provided opportunities to observe children and present activities in the
College's ECE lab.
Graduates will be awarded the associate in applied science degree.
