Four Tarrant County College South Campus students, who also are members of the Association of Construction Management Students, recently placed second in the two-year program division of International Builders’ Show Residential Construction Management Competition in Las Vegas, Nev. The competition included 56 teams from universities, colleges and secondary schools across the nation.
“This event gave the team members the opportunity to showcase the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom,” Bagcal said. “Their national recognition proves the TCC Construction Program faculty and staff are effectively equipping our students and preparing them for a career in the construction field.”
The competition required development of a proposal for building a house in Buckeye, Ariz. The package included development of a detailed estimate, schedule, complete working drawings and value engineering for the project. A panel of judges, consisting of five construction company executives, reviewed the project, after which TCC’s team presented and defended its proposal before the judges and an audience.
