Building Controls Technology
DCSD is partnering with Arapahoe Community College (ACC) to offer students a pathway in Building Controls Technology (BCT) that is geared toward students who desire a possible career in construction, electrical, and building automation trades.
Students will train for exciting hands-on work in a fast-growing career field. Courses cover a wide range of topics including: basic electricity, industrial wiring, control systems, building materials, and construction systems. Topics include electrical installation, conduit and raceways, how to use a multimeter, precision measurement, electrical and mechanical torque, basic hand and power tool safety, and OSHA safety.
Students will gain employable skills and work towards an internship in year 2. Students can also matriculate to ACC and continue to earn college credit in BCT where they will further learn to install, repair, and maintain a building's computer-controlled mechanical and electrical systems, including its heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and energy management systems.
Applications will be available from January 10 - March 7, 2025
Note: Year 2 Student Applications will be send directly to students by Instructors.
