Students from Professor Michael Collins’ CM 3110 Residential and Light Construction class recently visited one of the Katerra Construction Company’s project sites. Professor Collins felt his students would gain invaluable insight on the materials and methods of construction by visiting a construction site and worked with Katerra’s staff to coordinate the visit. Katerra’s facilitation of the event was well received by the students. The visit covered everything from site preparation and layout to finish materials. A presentation on the project, including construction methods, prior to the site visit enabled the students to put the overall operations occurring at the site into a clearer context. “I was able to visualize means and methods used on the site in a much more understandable way”, stated Tim Rauton, one of the students who attended the event. Another student, Steve Scruggs, expressed, “Being able to put eyes on many of the materials in our textbook was quite valuable. It was great to have the actual real-life work experiences to supplement our classroom learning”.
