Home » Construction

The Construction major merges concepts of skilled trades and management where projects make connections between science, technology, engineering and math with real-world opportunities. An exciting, hands-on opportunity awaits students as they learn to create and analyze construction documents and build scale and life-sized prototypes. Partnering with ABC in New Castle, DE, students follow the NCCER construction curriculum and will sit for trade certification exams, recognized by industry. Starting their Junior year, these students are also eligible for the Manufacturing Program through DTCC. Students are encouraged to participate in ACE Mentoring program, a nationwide program designed to introduce students to a wide range of career opportunities including but not limited to architecture, engineering and more.
