Introduction to general building and construction

 typically covers the foundational principles and practices of the construction industry. Students learn about various aspects of building construction, including:

1. Construction Techniques: Basic methods used in residential, commercial, and industrial building projects, including site preparation, structural frameworks, masonry, and finishing.

2. Materials and Tools: An overview of commonly used construction materials such as concrete, steel, wood, and composite materials, along with the tools and machinery employed in construction tasks.

3. Building Codes and Regulations: Understanding local, national, and international building codes and standards that ensure safety, sustainability, and compliance in construction projects.

4. Blueprint Reading and Drafting: Instruction on how to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings, construction plans, and blueprints.

5. Construction Safety: The importance of workplace safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to safety protocols on construction sites.

6. Project Management: Introduction to managing construction projects, including budgeting, scheduling, resource allocation, and communication among stakeholders.

Introduction to workshop

This hands-on workshop introduces students to the core concepts and practical applications of civil engineering. Designed for both beginners and those with foundational knowledge, the course covers key areas such as structural analysis, materials science, geotechnical engineering, transportation systems, and environmental engineering. Participants will engage in collaborative projects, using industry-standard tools and software to design, analyze, and test engineering solutions.
