18 courses with the subject CARP, 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.
This course is a general introduction to the basic tools that are used by a carpenter with an emphasis on safety, proper usage and procedures, and various applications that are most commonly used in the carpentry trades.
Covering the wide range of building materials used in carpentry, this course examines the many different types of wood products, including engineered lumber and the newest technology of steel framing. Proper procedures for estimating these building materials and the variety of fastening materials are also discussed and practiced.
In this course, students learn how to set up and operate the transit level and laser level. Building layout and excavation of residential construction will be explained, with particular emphasis on building stake-off. Types of footers, foundations, and concrete forming are also explored. Students will be challenged to practice proper building site layout, constructing concrete stair and sidewalk forms, and installing the form-a- drain system.
With a strong emphasis on platform framing, students will examine and demonstrate the proper methods of constructing subfloors, walls, and ceilings in the framework of residential and light commercial construction. This includes discussing the basic components and construction methods of light- gauge steel framing.
Students learn the different types of stairways and all parts pertaining to them. They also learn how to calculate, lay out, and construct stairway stringers with their proper landings, risers, treads, and railings.
The different types of roof systems and all the material members that are involved in the different roof types are discussed. Students learn theoretically how to calculate rafters to fit their proper situations an practice laying out and cutting common and hip rafters.
In this course, students will study and practice installing various types of exterior and interior finish material for residential construction. Exterior finish will include installation procedures for: roofing; siding; soffit; windows and doors; and aluminum trim. Interior finish will include techniques for: hanging drywall; installing prehung doors and door trim; applying trim around a window unit; and other common trim materials.
In this course students will learn the proper techniques necessary to dissect a set of residential blueprints and develop a broad understanding of the language of construction drawings. We will also become involved in duplicating, through the process of mechanical architectural drafting, a few select detailed residential section drawings, with each having different drafting scales.
Covers both dimensional and engineered lumber applications. To meet current building designs and codes, students perform installation from a detailed blueprint for sill plates, joists, joist hangers, stair beams, sub flooring, and stair stringer construction.
Covers both dimensional and engineered lumber applications. To meet current building designs and codes, students perform installation and layout from a detailed blueprint for wall plates, stud size and spacing, header design and size, and rough opening sizes for window and door schedules.
Covers engineered trusses and hand-framed rafters with ceiling joists. The students become familiar with the installation and design criteria of an engineered truss including detailed truss drawings for field applications and the codes applying to field modifications. Students perform layout, cutting, and installing roof rafters from a detailed blueprint d including proper ceiling joists, collar ties, and gable overhang construction and codes. Students install roof sheeting and fascia boards. Page 161 of 287
Covers the various types of insulation for thermal, noise, and fire protection. Ventilation baffles, vapor barriers, and types of loose fill insulation are detailed. Students perform installation of insulation for wall, ceiling, and fire-stop applications.
Covers the exterior materials used for siding, roofing, flashing, and aluminum trim. Using accepted methods, students perform siding, soffit, fascia, and fiberglass shingle applications, including proper flashing and counter flashing techniques.
Covers the types and sizes of drywall installed in construction, as well as proper hanging and finishing. Site techniques are covered. Students perform installation and finishing methods for standard applications.
Covers the variety and designs of interior custom stair trim. Students are instructed in the different stair designs, building codes and the perspective trim applications. Students install custom stair trim for an open stair and box stair designs including over the tread skirt board applications.
Covers the various interior painting and staining finishes. The proper wood types and species, finishing methods, and applications are detailed. Details of interior pre-hung doors, window trim including extension jambs and sills are covered. Students perform the installation of a standard trim package.
Covers the details associated with site preparation and foundation inspections for a new building. Specifics are for lot size, set back, right of way, and building location. Work includes using various instruments for batter board installations, excavation of foundation, locating footer elevation, and forming and pouring footers. Locating forming, and pouring of sidewalks and exterior porches.
