Prerequisite(s): CARP 130 and MATH 102 or higher.

Restriction(s): None

Corequisite(s): None

This course gives students a broader-based understanding of framing principles learned in CARP 130 and CARP 140. Topics include mathematical aspects of framing problems, principles of truss construction, residential framing member sizing, and solutions to real-life framing problems.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Students will be able to determine proper size, material and type of dimensional framing members used residential construction.
Students will be able to identify the uses and requirements of framing floors, walls and roofs with engineered lumber systems.
Students will be able to demonstrate the ability to reference and extract information from tables when sizing engineered lumber.
Students will be able to identify the various truss configurations and their uses.
Students will be able to mathematically solve various framing problems.
