MASONRY CONSTRUCTION
TECHNOLOGY

Masonry Construction Technology provides the opportunity to
develop the skills of a proficient mason, from the simple spreading
of mortar to the complex construction of an inside fireplace. These
skills are developed by practice projects, which are preceded by
theory lectures and demonstrations. Faculty members show films
on various aspects of the trade, and students take field trips to
learn about the manufacture of masonry products.
Since a large part of masonry work is decorative as well as
functional, special emphasis is placed on appreciation of the
beauty and permanence of brickwork and on the development of
pride in good workmanship.
Students find employment in the field as masons, and with
experience, as forepersons or superintendents. Many masons are
self-employed.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
A graduate of this program will be able to do the following:
* Operate masonry tools and equipment safely and effectively.
* Use masonry terminology.

* Lay out and construct footings and build a block foundation.
* Apply brick veneering to a structure.
* Construct a masonry arch.
* Lay out and set ceramic tile.
* Construct an inside fireplace and chimney.
* Repair older masonry structures.
* Organize personnel and materials at a construction site.
* Provide all masonry options in current residential
construction.
