perform building layout, wood floor framing, wall framing, roof framing, subfloor, sheathing, decking and dry-in activities. Particular emphasis is placed on carpentry and the use of woodworking tools. BCN1251C P LIGHT CONSTRUCTION DRAFTING (3) Application of basic drafting principles as they apply to light construction in architecture. BCN1256 O BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (3) This course is designed to prepare students with skills and proficiencies needed in building information modeling (BIM). Students will learn to model and create building elements, envelope systems, building features, and produce both BIM presentation and traditional building construction plans using BIM software. They will be able to navigate and analyze 3D construction models through operation of software in order to discover discrepancies and make critical changes to ensure a smooth construction process for the contractor and subcontractors performing the work. BCN1760 O CONSTRUCTION CODES AND REGULATIONS (3) Prerequisites: ENC1101. A course of study in requirements by regulatory agencies pertaining to the construction industry and job site safety. This course includes a complete study of the current edition of the Standard Building Code and other regulations applicable to light construction. Students will complete a company safety plan during discussions of construction safety and OSHA regulations. BCN2222C O CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES 2 (4) Prerequisites: BCN1221C, ENC1101, MAC1105. Construction Techniques 2 is a lecture/lab class which offers the student insights into the construction process. Students will gain practical experience in principles of construction while wrapping the envelope of a building in a light construction project. Lecture portions of this course will introduce the student to systems, methods and equipment available and commonly used on a light construction project. This is a continuation of Construction Techniques 1. A construction project will be followed from the dry-in stage through completion during class discussions. Lab sessions, field trips and/or practical exercises will allow students to use hand and power tools for carpentry and to practice the skills often required of the small contractor's labor force. Students will perform activities necessary to install wood siding, soffit, fascia, aluminum windows, pre-hung doors, exterior and interior trim materials and strip shingles on a wood roof deck. Particular emphasis is placed on carpentry and the use of woodworking tools. BCN2272 O BLUEPRINT READING (3) Blueprint Reading is a study of the principles involved in the use and interpretation of drawings and specifications commonly used in light construction. Plan views, elevations, sections and schedules are examined in depth. Use of various lines and symbols are explained. Students will practice visualizing the three-dimensional building from two-dimensional drawings. Divisions 2-16 of the C.S.I. standard format for construction specifications are covered. BCN2405 P CONSTRUCTION MECHANICS (5) Prerequisites: PHY2004/L. A vocabulary and working course to prepare the student for making structural decisions in architecture and building construction. The student begins to develop a structural sense of importance to structural design by use of basic principles of statics and strength of materials. BCN2450 O STRUCTURAL DESIGN (3) Prerequisites: BCN1220, CGS1000, ENC1101, MAC1105. An introduction to the physical science of applied mechanics, with emphasis placed on the sizing of simple members of wood and steel for light construction. 169
