Advanced · 1 credit · TMT - Trades, Manufacturing and Transportation

Description
Students develop appropriate layout and assembly skills to install conventional and/or engineered framing components associated with residential and/or light commercial construction.
Prerequisite
CON2035: Framing Systems – Floor CON2045: Framing Systems – Wall
Parameters
Access to a building site and/or construction facility and to instruction from an individual with formal, specialized training in carpentry.

Outcomes The student will:
