Construction Technology students are placing concrete in stem wall forms using a boom pump. A concrete vibrator is used to mechanically consolidate (remove air pockets) concrete. Trowels are used to smooth top of stem wall to prepare for installation of mud sill.

In the travel program we have a catering company, whose sole purpose is to create seasonal opportunities to cater to guests and meeting their needs. There was a request for a fall harvest event offering a variety of food and desert options with invitations included. The students designed the theme for the caterers, food, desert and beverages. Color scheme and the details were well done, everyone enjoyed the celebration of harvest as a class.
