development of mathematical skills sufficient to solve and analyze technical
problems associated with construction projects including building, highway and
heavy construction.
3.
The
ability to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of common construction methods and
design procedures associated with building, highway and heavy construction
projects.
4.
The ability to Demonstrate the
capability to develop architectural and engineering drawings for construction
projects, including working, presentation and shop drawings.
5.
Proficiency
in the use of computer graphics associated with civil and construction
projects.
6.
An understanding of working
drawings for residential, commercial, highway and heavy construction
projects.
