Credit(s) | $49.50 Fee This course introduces students to professional codes of conduct and ethics adopted by the International Building Codes. Students examine building classification and fire protection systems, as well as regulations worldwide to classify buildings as safe. This course provides a thorough examination of the height limitations, structural strength requirements and occupancy regulations. Upon completion, students should be able to determine the code constraints governing construction projects. (Fall) [Graded Letter]
Credit(s) | $49.50 Fee Learn extensive knowledge of construction planning and scheduling processes, and recognize its importance in the construction area. Learn the concepts of different planning and scheduling techniques, resource leveling, time-cost relationships, and monitoring work progress. The course incorporates the use of computers in the planning and scheduling process. (Spring) [Graded Letter]

CM 3940Applied Industry Projects in Construction Management1
Credit(s) | $16.50 Fee Faculty-supervised, applied industry projects that strengthen professional readiness and core construction management practice. Students complete structured activities aligned with Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) expectations and industry standards, while developing and refining practical templates and workflows (takeoff/pricing sheets, schedules, logistics plans, risk/assumption logs, safety and quality plans) that can be used to solve real construction project tasks in professional settings. Students also engage with industry partners through project scoping, milestone reviews, and feedback. Deliverables include a professional portfolio of templates and project work products, along with an applied project package and performance evaluation. (Spring - 1st Session, As Needed) [Pass/Fail]
Credit(s) | $49.50 Fee A study of sustainable practices and design including energy, healthy buildings, natural resources, use, and economics issues in the building environment. Emphasis on efficient building design for the future. (Spring) [Graded Letter]
CM 4150Soils and Foundations Design and Construction3
Credit(s) | $49.50 Fee This course is designed to introduce the basic concepts of geotechnical engineering and the correlation between soil mechanics and foundations design and construction. Geotechnical engineering will focus on geological formations of natural soils, the basics of soils through hands-on experience in the geotechnical laboratory, soil sampling, soil structure, grain size, classification, water influence, and the estimation of settlement or expansion. Soil mechanics deals with soil properties, groundwater, compaction, consolidation, permeability, seepage, shear strength, deformation behavior, and bearing capacity of soils. Whereas foundations cover the concepts of earth pressure and slope stability, structural design and construction of shallow and deep foundations, design of foundation for seismic forces. (Spring) [Graded Letter]
Credit(s) | $49.50 Fee This course is designed to give the students the skills to estimate several types of construction projects using software programs designed for use in the professional world. The student will be exposed to many different aspects of estimating, including, but not limited to heavy civil, residential remodeling, new residential construction, and commercial construction. (Spring) [Graded Letter]
CM 4300Construction Project Management Leadership3
Credit(s) | $49.50 Fee The purpose of this course is to expose the student to principles and techniques of managing engineering and construction projects from the conceptual phase, through design and construction, to completion.
