On Tuesday, students in Art Erbe's Construction Technology II and Construction Technology III classes were , a company that provides high-quality aggregates, asphalt, ready-mix concrete products and paving services to various clients, including state and federal agencies, municipalities and private sectors.
Students heard from industry experts in diverse roles, such as a quality control technician, a ready-mix truck driver and a logistics operation manager. These testimonials highlighted the types of opportunities available in the field, ranging from entry-level jobs to executive positions.
One fascinating aspect of the visit was learning about the science involved in concrete production. The quality control technician demonstrated field tests, such as the slump test, to assess concrete's workability and consistency, and the air entrainment test, which ensures concrete's quality and durability.
Additionally, our students learned about internships and summer job opportunities available for students interested in exploring a career in construction technology.
We are continually impressed by the innovative ways 麻豆影院 High teachers engage our Falcons in real-world learning experiences!
