Steve P. Rados: This just came hot off the presses from Sac State alum Russell "Big Cat" Bonnifield.  Rados, a heavy civil company, is looking for interns.  For more info on Rados, click here.  Send resumes to Russell at [email protected].  You gotta love the Sac State CM network!

Construction Assistant: This position is for a local building developer that also acts as a general contractor.  If you're interested in learning both sides of building (owner and contractor), come see me.  This is a unique position and I'm trying to fill this position for a friend.  It's a great opportunity for someone with the right fit.

What's Going On In Classes

CM 121:  BRING YOUR GOODYEAR PLANS TO CLASS AND LAB.  This week, we be covering the cost of materials in Tuesday's lecture and estimating concrete in Thursday's lecture.  In lab we will be estimating the cost of select site utilities for Goodyear.

CM 126:  Slight deviation from the syllabus.  I will not be assigning a case for Monday or on Monday.  I will assign one on Wednesday that will be due the following week.  In other words, Case #5 will be assigned on Wednesday, Oct. 2 and will be due on Oct. 9.  I'm going to slow the pace of cases until I can get caught up on grading.

Assignments associated with Case #3 and Case #4 are due this week (Monday and Wednesday respectively).  See SacCT for details.

Lastly, Monday's student presentations are by Nick Staykow and Mohamed Shammet.  Wednesday's are Manuel Moya and Jeremiah Thixton.
