Architecture & Construction	Fundamentals of Construction	C17H15	3.1	Construction Industry: Analyze the organization of the modern construction industry. Distinguish among the various personnel involved in the industry and explain the roles of each in the construction process, including but not limited to the owner, developer, architects, engineers, building officials, contractors, suppliers, unions, and professional craftsmen. Describe the basic steps of traditional building delivery for a construction project (from pre-design to post-construction), outlining who and what is involved in each step.
			4.1	Construction Professions: Research the major professions and trades within construction, such as electrician, carpenter, mason, plumber, HVAC technician, cost estimator, and construction manager. Analyze the aptitudes and training needed for at least three careers of interest. For example, outline the typical steps needed to become a journeyman electrician, such as completing postsecondary training and obtaining on-the-job training through an apprenticeship, and devise a tentative career plan to reach employment goals
			4.2	Employment Opportunities: Evaluate jobs data and employment projections in the construction industry from sources such as O*Net OnLine, synthesizing findings from each source. Determine areas of largest growth and discuss the significance of construction to the national and global economy. Articulate why construction is considered a STEM field, citing the specific knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be successful in a variety of construction occupations.
			5.1	Measuring: Use physical measurement devices typically employed in construction to complete accurate field measurements. Determine the appropriate units and record accurate measurements of lengths and angles. Tools should include but are not limited to fractional rule, metric rule, measuring tape, architect’s scale, engineer’s scale, dial caliper, micrometer, protractor, and square
			5.2	Dimensions: Interpret given linear and angular dimensions to accurately set up layouts to complete a project. For example, use an architect’s scale to measure distance on a construction drawing, and then use a measuring tape to lay out cuts in dimensional lumber to an accuracy of 1/16 i
			6.1	Math: Apply mathematics concepts to solve construction problems, distinguishing which principles apply to a given construction problem.
			7.1	Identify Tools: Accurately identify a wide range of hand and power tools used in the construction trades, such as striking tools, cutting tools, torque producing tools, leveling and squaring tools, grinding and shaping tools, clamping tools, and pulling and lifting tools. Explain when each is used and describe the characteristics that make each appropriate for a given task
			8.1	Construction Materials: Compare and contrast the properties and uses of basic construction materials employed in building construction processes, such as aggregates, asphalt, concrete, steel, wood, and masonry materials.
			9.1	Construction Drawings: Inspect and interpret construction drawings, diagrams, and written specifications for construction projects. Explain how pictorial representations relate to a physical layout. Use an architect’s scale and the given dimensions on a construction document to determine an unknown dimension. For example, interpret electrical schedules and single-pole or three-way light switch symbols in electrical plans to determine the types, quantities, and exact physical locations of the light switches to be installed in a construction project
			9.3	Create Drawings: Create two-dimensional scale drawings using accepted dimensioning rules and measurement systems. For example, as part of a project to build a simple structure, develop the complete drawings that specify the dimensional details for each step of the construction process, annotating all drawings such that another person could replicate the work
			10.1	Course Project: Interpret construction drawings to determine the correct materials, tools, and equipment needed to complete a basic construction project. Plan and May 2022 \| Page 7 implement the steps needed to complete the project, attending to precise details and employing safe practices throughout. For example, read and interpret a technical document to build a simple toolbox.
	Residential and Commercial Construction 1	C17H24	3.1	Apprenticeship: Referencing data from U.S. Department of Labor and other sources, research and explain an apprenticeship. Describe the benefits of the apprenticeship approach of on-the-job training paired with related training for individuals seeking construction careers. Use a variety of sources to gather data, cite each source, and briefly describe why the chosen source is reliable
			3.2	Postsecondary Programs: Research and explain postsecondary programs and their institutions (colleges of applied technology, community colleges, and four-year universities) in Tennessee and other states that offer construction-related programs. Identify entry requirements for a specific postsecondary program of study, and the secondary courses that will prepare students to be successful in the program.
			6.2	Concrete Composition: Describe the composition of concrete by listing the materials used to make concrete. Analyze the factors that impact the compression strength of concrete, such as the water-cement ratio. Identify additional materials used in concrete construction, such as reinforcement materials and forms. For example, create a comparison chart outlining the materials, forms, and reinforcement used in concrete for a sidewalk versus a bridge.
			6.3	Concrete Volume: Calculate the total volume of concrete and the specific materials necessary for a given project based on construction drawings and specifications. Use the information to estimate the amount of each material needed to mix concrete for the project.
			6.4	Concrete Curing: Analyze factors influencing the curing of concrete, such as the weather, moisture, and the use of control joints. Explain the curing of concrete outlining the procedures necessary to ensure concrete cures properly for a given date and location, including procedures to prevent cracking and recommendations for the spacing of control joints.
			6.5	Place Concrete: Apply the appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures to safely place concrete and cleanup after a concrete project. Work in teams to safely and properly employ tools and personal protective equipment (PPE), and follow procedures to construct a simple concrete form, place concrete into the form, and strike-off (screed), level, smooth, edge, and joint concrete to finish the project.
			12.3	Materials: Interpret construction drawings to determine the correct materials, tools, and equipment needed to complete a construction project. Plan and implement the steps needed to complete the project, adhering to inspection procedures and employing safe practices throughout. Draw from print and electronic examples to create and publish a material list, cost estimation, construction schedule, and inspection checklist for a project, applying the components of the documents to the given project.
	Residential and Commercial Construction II	C17H25	7.1	Masonry: Describe the materials and methods used in modern masonry. Distinguish between masonry units made of clay products (i.e. brick) and masonry units made of concrete (i.e. block), analyzing the composition and structure of common units. Differentiate between the types of masonry construction, such as solid masonry walls, cavity walls, and veneer walls, citing examples of when each is used. Apply the knowledge to examine two different masonry constructions found in the school or community comparing the composition and construction methods of each.
