Fundamentals of Construction is the entry level course in the Tennessee College of Applied Technology dual enrollment program of study. Students will follow the National Center for Construction (NCCER) CORE curriculum which prepares individuals for entry-level positions on project sites by providing the basics in safety, hand and power tools, construction math, materials handling, construction drawings, and employability skills. This competency-based program can be used as a pre-apprenticeship program, meets Perkins funding requirements and is recognized throughout the country by the construction industry. The knowledge and skills learned in this class through CORE are the foundation that successful construction careers are built on. There are multiple industry certification opportunities in this class. In addition, students who successfully complete OSHA and Precision Measurement Instrumentation certifications and maintain an 85 overall course average are eligible for automatic dual credit with Pellissippi State Community College.

28 July 2023 Class Assignment
If you did not complete the assignment yesterday on introduction to hand tools, please complete and turn in today. After completing the introduction to hand tools, begin the next assignment - introduction to the measuring tape.
Also, check that I have not emailed you about a missing assignment - zeros will start going into the gradebook tomorrow. Use today to fix any issues you may have on your assignments before this happens. After Friday, any work turned in late will not be worth full credit per the syllabus.
In order to work for ANY (honestly, ANY) trade, you MUST MUST MUST be able to read a tape measure. As we begin introducing you to trades, you will need to learn how to properly use a tape measure. Watch the following videos in the order that they appear. The first video explains fractions. Fractions are what make up the standard ruler/measuring tape that we use in the USA. You will need to have a basic understanding of fractions in order to read the measuring tape.
Once you have completed the videos, draw out measuring tapes up to 5 inches of the following increments (increments means how many ticks are between an inch): 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32. A tick is the black line that represents the fraction between the inch numbers. For example: If you were drawing a 1/16 measuring tape, you would have a total of 15 ticks between 0 and 1 inch. The 1 inch mark is the same as saying 16/16, which equals 1.Each tick represents a fraction that you must correctly identify.
Once you draw out a 1/16 measuring tape up to 5 inches, do the same for 1/8 and 1/32. Why is this important? Because these are the most commonly used increments in the field (trade term for working on jobsites or service work). We will go over the measuring tape many times in class and you will have to prove that you can read a tape measure on a performance test.
