Interested to know, from you and your colleages, about formal college level [incl. 2-yr community and technical programs]courses in 1] specifications writing, 2] working drawings, 3] construction drawings, etc. Helpful to know school names, locations, titles of courses, and short general synopsis.
Thanks for your help |

Here in Columbus, if you want construction document courses, you will find those at Columbus State Community College as part of their Construction Management curriculum. A 3-hour course called Construction Contract Documents based on the CSI CDT curriculum (which includes taking the CDT exam as the final) and another 3-hour course called Building Construction Drawings, which also includes a look at project manuals.
At the OverSized University up the road, the closest you will get to an introduction to specs is three 3-hour courses in materials (Construction I, II, and III) in your junior year on the way to your 4-year preprofessional BS Arch degree. |
