DCMG 302 Materials and Methods of Construction 2
The course examines the construction processes
specific to light-frame construction, steel, and finishes.
Students gain an understanding of the properties of
wood (bending, compression, elasticity, shear), and
structural light framing, and light-gauge steel framing
in construction projects through texts, discussions, and
site visits. Building finishes (textures, materials, colors,
coatings) in both fixed and temporary conditions
and their sustainability components, such as VOCs,
are investigated and alternative methodologies are
studied for enhanced indoor air quality
