The guide is an outline of training experiences designed to lead a student to at least entry-level proficiency in engineering, support, and management service jobs within the construction industry. Teaching units cover construction drafting, architectural drawing, engineering drafting, estimating, expediting and scheduling, surveying, testing and inspecting, material distribution, and blueprint reading. Each unit has several overall objectives which are divided into subobjectives, stated in behavioral terms. Suggested activities are listed for each subobjective. Lists of texts and academic related theory information are provided for each overall objective. A four-step lesson plan procedure is described consisting of preparation of the lesson, presentation, application of student performance, and performance test. A sample lesson plan using these steps is appended. The accompanying student resource manual is intended to serve as a supplemental text. Topics included correspond with those in the teaching units, providing basic information necessary to performing the suggested activities. Job activities, materials, processes, tools, and equipment are described in detail. Glossaries of important terms and appended lists of information sources are included for each topic. (Author/MS)
