Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Degree and Certificate Type

90 CREDITS

The Associate in Construction Management DTA/MRP degree is a pathway for students planning transfer to CWU, UW, and WSU for a major in Construction Management (American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) accredited programs http://www.acce-hq.org/index.htm). It also provides information for transfer to EWU’s BS in Technology, Construction Management.

Construction Management DTA/MRP students should contact their potential transfer institution(s) early in their program regarding:

  • The specific course choices in each area of the Statewide agreement where options are listed (humanities, social science)
  • Admission requirements for both the insitution(s) and the major, including overall minimum GPA, a higher GPA in a selected subset of courses, or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses
    • Construction management is a compettive degree program and may require a higher GPA overall or a higher GPA in specific courses
    • Meeting the minimum requirements of the degree does not guarantee admission to the transfer insitution(s) and the major

Construction Management DTA/MRP graduates will:

  • use the scientific method to analyze natural phenomena and acquire skills to evaluate authenticity of data/information relative to the natural world
  • apply mathematical knowledge through calculus
  • define the basic concepts of Introductory Mechanical Physics
  • describe fundamentals of engineering graphics including: terminology, media, line conventions, scaling, sketching, geometric construction, isometric drawing, and basic orthographic projection, as defined in ASME and AIA standards
  • demonstrate knowledge of basic AutoCAD or Solid Works for Engineering skills
  • demonstrate communication, critical thinking, cultural humility, information literacy, and teamwork skills
  • meet Humanities , Natural Science , Quantitative Reasoning , Social Science , and Written Communication  general education distribution area outcomes

Lake Washington Institute of Technology does not offer every course each quarter. It is the student’s responsibility to consult the Class Schedule and work out an individual schedule with an advisor. Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase the program length.

Program Requirements

Recommended Course Sequence

The courses listed below are a suggested sequence; as long as prerequisites are met, courses may be taken in a different order.

Diversity and Social Justice Requirement

Within the degree requirements, students must complete a 3-5 credit course that meets the college’s Diversity and Social Justice (DSJ) requirement. DSJ courses are designated in the college schedule and are designed to meet other general education or technical requirements simultaneous to meeting the DSJ requirement (e.g., ENGL& 101 with the DSJ attribute meets both the ENGL& 101 requirement and the DSJ requirement).

Note: Not all sections of a course meet the DSJ requirement. Students should review the class information to ensure the class section includes “course attributes: meets diversity requirement.”

Visit the DSJ requirement webpage to view the current list of general education and technical courses that meet the requirement.

Students who have taken a DSJ class in a previous certificate or degree, do not have to take another DSJ class.

Total Program Credits: 90

The requirements of the Construction Management DTA/MRP are met by the degree plan as listed above. The following information lists the requirements by subject area and includes advising notes and institution-specific requirements. Students should review this information carefully in order to plan their degree pathway in alignment with their transfer institution(s).
