Structured as a hands-on, shop class. Students will also participate in classroom learning as new topics are introduced.

Trade math and volume calculation skills will be applied, as students learn how to estimate concrete cubic yardage for their shop projects. Students will start their hands-on learning by laying out and installing footing forms.

Concrete reinforcement is also covered in this course, as students learn how to cut, bend, install and tie the reinforcing rebar for their shop projects.
