WELCOME TO BUILDING AND CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
The unit specifies the competencies required to demonstrate environmental literacy. It involves controlling environmental hazards, controlling environmental pollution, demonstrating sustainable resource use and evaluating current practices in relation to resource usage.
This unit covers the competencies required to prepare and apply technical drawing. It involves competencies in selecting, using and maintaining drawing equipment and
materials. It also involves developing plane geometry drawings, solid geometry drawings, pictorial and orthographic drawings.
By the end of the course unit, the trainer should be able to:
The course is more focussed on equiping the learners with what the modern day construction industry involves. In modern-day construction, sheathing the skeleton of the building is only the beginning; specialists then begin the bulk of the work inside, installing plumbing, electrical wiring, HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning), windows, floor coverings, plasterwork, moldings, ceramic tile, cabinets, and other features.
