About the Program

This program of study engages students in each phase of the design and construction process as they progress through the program. The first two courses require students to use design software to complete several projects and plans, including the use of 3-D modeling tools. In the advanced courses, students work in teams to complete a development project that emphasizes construction standards; coordination of the construction process; estimating, planning and scheduling; and site management. Students may earn industry certification through Autodesk and/ or college credit through articulation agreements with Construction Management programs. This program of study is available to students starting in 10th grade.
