ABSTRACTPart of a series of industrial arts curriculum

materials developed by the State of Louisiana, the tentativecurriculum guide presents an outline for an introductory course onthe construction industry. Designed for use at the middle schoollevel, it is intended that through the performance of the suggestedactivities, student knowledge of work and career opportunities in theconstruction industry will be increased. The four major topicoutlines include: an introduction; managing construction; applyingtechnology to people; and construction production technology.Performance objectives and suggested activities are presented foreach topic. Suggested resources are provided for the implementationof the activities. Each resource is coded to match the list ofresource materials that completes the document. OM

Overview

.Upon completion of the course the student will be able to identify that

part of the world was built by the Construction Industry. The student will per-

form activities that relate to the many conveniences enjoyed and often taken for

granted by man in today's society along with the ability to relate and solve the

problems that may arise between Labor and Management. The student will be

able to identify and demonstrate a working knowledge of what Construction per-

sonnel do and the career opportunities available in the Construction Industry.
