Course Length
1 Semester
Construction Careers is a semester-long course that introduces high school students to the basics of construction, building systems, engineering principles, urban planning, and sustainability. Students learn the key techniques in building all types of buildings, as well as the key individuals involved in each step of the process. Many lessons present information on green building techniques and concepts that are becoming a standard part of the construction industry.
Safety practices are emphasized in several lessons because construction is one of the most dangerous
industries; students learn that there is no way to be successful in construction without taking such
issues seriously. Lessons in this course also explore regulatory agencies and guidelines established
for protecting not only construction workers but also the occupants of a building.
