Description

BCT 200 Structural Analysis I
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
6 Hrs/Wk ( 6 Hr. Lecture, 0 Hrs. Shop) *7.5 wks
This course will demonstrate the effect improper building practices have on the structural integrity of a home and teach students to recognize structural load path transfer from roof to footing. Building course outcomes around these two focal points will give students the knowledge and understanding to make critical construction decisions allowing them to apply best building practices. We are an unlicensed trade in the State of Maine. While many building practices are obviously correct or obviously deficient, this course will illustrate the differences and consequences of improper building practices. Students will immediately apply this knowledge in their remaining field experiences. Prerequisite: Enrolled in Jobsite Track program or Dept. Chair Approval.
