Students gathered for the spring session of CON E 280 at our AGC member facilities, hosted by Marathon Construction Corporation, RDO Equipment Co., and the AGC Apprenticeship Program. Back for a spring session, this two-hour May 2 field trip brought SDSU’s Construction Methods class back to our headquarters campus and the Marathon/RDO yard. The class exposes students to laboratory time to teach the components and methods of construction, namely earthwork; foundations; wood, steel, and concrete construction; roofing and cladding; and interior construction. Half the time was spent trying out RDO equipment; the other half was spent on apprenticeship program simulators. The intent of this class is to provide students with field experience in conducting or observing construction operations, as well as observing the concepts of production in a construction setting. Local favorite Hodad’s was on site for lunch. These students are part of the SDSU College of Engineering Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) program. Take a look at last year's field trip experience and get an idea of the benefits of the CEM program here. Thanks for supporting the future leaders in construction!
