Peninsula College’s Construction Technology program is an important component to the college’s commitment to workforce training in sustainable industries. The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Construction Technology offers a comprehensive program designed to prepare students for employment in sustainable green construction trades, alternative building materials and methods and construction management. Foundation classes cover basic woodworking, foundations framing, roof systems and alternative energy. Core courses teach students green building concepts and design, engineered building materials, blueprint reading and alternative building methods. Capstone classes include jobsite management, construction leadership and estimation. Instruction consists of classroom presentations, hands-on training in lab settings and online learning modules.

Become a construction manager or building inspector. The job market is strong for both career paths, especially with the increasing complexity of today's construction projects. Classes offer the most current information available and include project management, estimating, codes, inspection, and construction-related computer applications. The Construction Management program at Edmonds College is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education. The program is one of eight similarly accredited associate degree programs in the United States.

Construction Management (CM) at Laney College is a great program for anyone who is interested in construction and wants to get familiar with the management skills required for working as a management professional or expanding entrepreneurial skills required for small businesses.

The Landscape Design and Construction Specialist Associate in Science degree program provides additional training for students interested in working in the field of landscape design/build. The curriculum provides advanced studies in design, plant ID, and basic horticulture, and provides foundational training toward working in a design/ build firm, and obtaining a landscape contractor’s license, irrigation design certification, and related specialties (lighting, water features, water management).

This two-year competency-based program leads to an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Welding Technology and provides training for skills and related technical knowledge necessary for advancement in the metals industry. Instruction includes classroom study as well as extensive practice in the welding lab. Peninsula College provides American Welding Society (AWS) certification testing for students in an approved facility on the campus.

Our program is designed to instruct students in the principles of carpentry and provide participation in all phases of the building process. Carpentry students build a new house and/or remodel existing structures. By using on and off-campus building projects, we teach construction principles, and best practices and develop hands-on skills.

If you’re looking for a job that pays well and will always be challenging, welding offers a wide variety of choices. If you’d like even more responsibility someday, there’s plenty of room for growth. Welding Technology touches on every profession and industry that uses metal. This program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills for joining and cutting metallic materials. This includes instruction in SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, GTAW welding processes; oxyacetylene, and plasma cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Includes, welding metallurgy, structural welding safety, and applicable codes and standards. These skills prepare students for the following careers: ironworker trade, steelworker trade, construction trades, pile driver trades, and glazing trades.

The Welding Technology Program introduces students to both the theoretical and manipulative skills necessary to perform in a broad range of welding careers. Students practice several different types of manual welding and learn the technical and scientific aspects of the welding process.

This program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills to repair, install, service, and maintain the operating condition of commercial HVAC systems. This includes instruction in diagnostic techniques, the use of testing equipment, and the principles of mechanics, electricity, and electronics as they relate to the repair of commercial HVAC systems.

This program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills to repair, install, service, and maintain the operating condition of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This includes instruction in diagnostic techniques, the use of testing equipment, and the principles of mechanics, electricity, and electronics as they relate to the repair of air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

AAS degrees are awarded in numerous disciplines. Associate of Applied Science degrees provides knowledge and skills, leading to employment in specialized fields.

The Construction Management Program prepares students to enter the construction industry in technical, managerial, and supervisory roles in three major areas: residential and light commercial building construction, heavy commercial building construction, and civil construction (roads, bridges, utilities). Entry-level employment is generally in the areas of project management, field inspection, material testing, cost estimating, computer-aided drafting, and surveying.

The Associate in Occupational Science (A.O.S.) degree program offers core training in the practical aspects of construction and repair of equipment and structures built with steel.

TMCC Building Construction Technology Program’s goal is to provide training to prepare students with the knowledge and skills needed in the building construction industry. Students will enhance their technical skills through task-oriented specific skills in carpentry. Students will practice their skills by building a residential home as a class project. Students will enhance their problem-solving skills, decision-making skills, and leadership skills with business courses in science, communications, management, computer technology courses, and general education courses. Students will learn service-learning skills and leadership skills through student organization involvement, classroom discussions, and demonstrations. The Building Construction Technology – Entrepreneur Emphasis provides students with the skills and knowledge to own or manage a business.

The Electrical Technology Degree prepares students for careers in chemical plants, refineries, HVAC, and residential electricians. These jobs pay an average of $50 to 60 dollars an hour. The Electrical Technology Associate of Applied Science degree program prepares graduates for entry-level careers as Electrician Technicians in the chemical processing industry and residential electricians.
