Suggested Grade Levels: 10 or 11 or 12 (18 weeks)

In this single-period laboratory course, students design, build, and test scale-model structures and work with projects that help them to understand the jobs of architects, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, surveyors, contractors, masons, design engineers, and a variety of other construction careers. (This course is a companion to Manufacturing Systems.)

As noted in Superintendent’s Memo #106-10 (4-30-2010), this Career and Technical Education (CTE) course must maintain a maximum pupil-to-teacher ratio of 20 students to one teacher, due to safety regulations. The 2010-2012 biennial budget waiver of the teacher-to-pupil ratio staffing requirement does not apply.
