10 courses with the subject COT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
COT 101College Seminar for Technology
Introduces Construction Technology/Architectural Technology students to general skills needed for success at college and in the workplace. Connects the college experience and its impact on students' skills necessary to compete in world of work. Note: Fulfills College Seminar requirement for students in the Construction Technology/Architectural Technology program. No prerequisite. Offered on: A / 1 cr. hr.
Care and use of surveying instruments. Taping and taping corrections, differential leveling, traverse and area computation, stadia topography and construction surveys. (2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory) Corequisite: MAT111 or MAT112. Offered on: A / 3 cr. hrs.
Methods of residential and commercial construction including site preparation, concrete placement, timber and steel framing techniques, moisture control and finishing. (3 hrs. lecture, 1 hr. laboratory) No prerequisite. Offered on: A / 3 cr. h
This course teaches the student how to interpret and visualize construction drawings which are essential skills for the success of any construction design or project. Students will learn how to "take-off" estimated quantities of materials, understand the relationship between details, elevations, and plan sheets. Students will work through multiple projects learning how each of the prints interrelate in the construction document set. (2 hr. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory)
This course introduces students to basic theories of planning, design, structural innovations and materials of historically, socially and culturally significant architectural buildings from the Ancient Egyptian and Greek architecture to the present. (offered fall semester only) No prerequisite. Offered on: A / 3 cr. hrs.
One-semester course in statics. Includes vector concept of force, equilibrium, centroids, moments of inertia, analysis of structures, and fluid statics. (offered spring semester only) (3 hrs. lecture, 1 hr. laboratory) Prerequisite: MAT 111 or MAT112 with a C or better. Corequisite: MAT120. Offered on: A / 3 cr. hrs.
Study of relationships existing between externally applied forces and internally induced stresses and strains in various types of mechanical or structural components such as welds, bolts, rivets, shafts pressure vessels, beams and columns. This is accomplished using principles of stress and strain, Poisson's ratio and thermally introduced loading. (offered fall semester only) (2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory) Prerequisite: COT166 and MAT 120 or MAT124. Offered on: A / 3 cr. hrs.
Principles of Green Building Methods of residential and commercial construction that incorporate Green Building principles and technologies in support of the US Green Building Council LEED Program. (offered spring semester only)
