5 courses with the subject CCM, 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.
CCM 153Woodworking Hand and Power Tools5
Identifying safe operations of stationary woodworking equipment are the core elements of this course. Through demonstration, the student will be introduced to the safe use of the table saw, the radial arm saw, the band saw, the planer, the jointer, the overhead router, the drill press, the shaper. The course will prepare the student to do accurate layout and use proper construction methods.
The focus of this course is the components and construction of cabinets, face frames, doors and drawers common to the cabinet making industry. Students will learn the theory behind proper cabinet construction. The special operations required on specific woodworking machinery and the assembly of these cabinets’ components are practiced in this course. Hinges, pulls, slides and similar door and drawer hardware are also studied, as are the properties of wood and the fasteners used in the carpentry/cabinet making field. The student will continue to learn the safe use of sanding machines, table saw, radial arm saw, band saw, planer, jointer, overarm router, drill press, shaper, and the tenoner.
CCM 231Site Layout, Foundations and Framing Principles5
This course covers footing and foundation, the use of the structure, soil and climate conditions, methods of construction, and placement of the structure on the lot. Site layout procedures and the use of common leveling instruments are studied. The students then apply the theory with hands-on use of layout tools. Elements of the building codes and zoning laws that apply to site layout procedures are also examined in this course. This course also covers the construction terminology, materials, methods and practical lessons in the various types of floor and wall framing principles found in the construction industry today. Construction terminology, materials estimating, and proper construction techniques give the student a broad knowledge of modern construction practices. (Prerequisites: CCM-169, CCM-170)
