The Construction Technology program allows students the opportunity to complete certificates at two levels and to transfer these certificates toward an Associate of Applied Science degree in Industrial Engineering Technology. The Level I Construction Technology certificate is for students who intend to seek entry-level employment after completing a one-year program of study. The Level II certificate is for students interested in advancing their skill level beyond Level I.
The curriculum utilizes National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) a nationally recognized credentialing and certification system. This National Registry system assures portability of skills by providing transcripts, certificates, and wallet cards to students who successfully complete the program.
Prerequisites
The student will need to demonstrate proficiencies in reading, English, and mathematics based on the Mandatory Placement Policy, or by taking the recommended/required classes.
Program Path Sequence:
The listing that follows is a recommended sequence of courses. The student should consult with an advisor for information specific to their academic situation.
For More Information Contact Program Advisor: Kyle Seufert kseufert@neosho.edu or Outreach Staff, 620-432-0406 outreach@neosho.edu if program advisor is unavailable.
To earn a certificate, students must successfully pass all courses and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on all courses within the certificate.
General Education (GE) Courses
In order to obtain the Associate of Applied Science degree in Industrial Engineering Technology, general education courses must be taken. The student’s program advisor will recommend appropriate general education courses based upon the student’s background and career objectives.
Program Elective Courses
The Level I Construction Technology certificate requires the completion of 18 credit hours of courses in the technical career area. The Level II Construction Technology certificate requires the completion of 32 credit hours of courses in the technical career area. Additional technical courses should be discussed with the student’s academic advisor and may be selected based upon specific goals and requirements.
Level I Program Outcomes
- Demonstrate the fundamentals of OSHA and the knowledge of basic safety.
- Demonstrate the ability to perform construction math.
- Demonstrate the ability to correctly use construction tools.
- Demonstrate the ability to utilize construction drawings.
- Demonstrate basic rigging techniques.
- Demonstrate basic communications and employability skills.
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of carpentry trade.
- Demonstrate the ability to layout and construct floor, wall, ceiling and roof framing.

Level II Program Outcomes
- Demonstrate the knowledge of construction site layout, and the handling and placement of concrete.
- Demonstrate the ability of interior material applications.
- Demonstrate the ability of exterior material applications.
- Demonstrate the basic knowledge of electrical, HVAC, drain, waste, and vent systems.
Associate of Applied Science Option
Students interested in completing an Associate of Applied Science degree in Industrial Engineering Technology with an emphasis in construction should visit with an advisor to determine general education and additional technical education requirements. Degrees require completion of 64 credit hours.
