About the Program
 View the Construction and Remodeling Webcast
The Construction and Remodeling Program prepares students for a career in residential construction and/or remodeling. Through intensively hands-on coursework students learn how to take a project from prints and specifications through final finish work. They will learn about site preparation, layout and foundations. In a semester long hands-on course students frame floors, walls, ceilings and roofs. In another course devoted to learning by doing students install roof shingles, windows, doors, stairs, exterior trim, siding, cabinets and interior trim. All phases of home construction are covered, including estimating materials, understanding building codes and maintaining tools and equipment.
Program outcomes state what a graduate needs to be able to do with the essential knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors acquired in a specific MATC program. The program outcomes communicate expectations to students, as well as other academic institutions and potential employers. The identification and assessment of program outcomes support MATC's efforts in documenting student learning and provide a context for the faculty's academic planning.
