About Construction Methods and Materials
Construction Methods and Materials is designed as an introduction to the various aspects of the construction industry. It presents a generalized approach to the steps required to develop a particular parcel of land: including site selection considerations, awareness of required jurisdictional permits, construction techniques and the selection of appropriate construction materials. The course consists of four powerpoint lectures and four weekly homework assignments.
