This course introduces the principles of how structures behave under loads. You will learn about fundamental concepts like stress, strain, and the properties of materials, which are essential for understanding the stability and strength of building components.
This course covers the principles of administering and managing a construction site. It introduces the core functions of a site manager, including planning, organizing resources, and overseeing operations to ensure projects are completed efficiently.
This course introduces the science of land measurement. You will learn the fundamental principles of surveying, including how to determine the relative positions of points on the Earth's surface and present this data graphically on a plan or map.
This course provides hands-on experience with concrete. You will learn about the properties of its constituent materials, mix design, batching, placing, and testing of both fresh and hardened concrete.
This foundational course covers the practical aspects of building. It examines the major components—foundations, floors, walls, doors, windows, and roofs—their functional requirements, and common construction methods.
This course introduces the fundamental scientific principles governing building materials. You will study the physical and chemical properties of materials like clay, concrete, stones, and timber and learn how they are produced, evaluated, and used in construction.
