 |  |  | Course Descriptions
 |  |  | (Course content may be taught as concepts within other courses.)
 |  |  | #1 Introduction to the Built Environment: This is a core course for the Architecture and Construction Career Cluster which will build a knowledge base and technical skills in all aspects of the industry.  Learners will be exposed to a broad range of architecture and construction careers and cluster foundation knowledge and skills including basic safety, plan reading, use of tools and equipment, basic rigging, and how to employ positive work ethics in their careers. Possible student certifications to be earned include NCCER Core, Basic First Aid and CPR. Participation in SkillsUSA will reinforce cluster knowledge and skills. It is recommended that a construction mathematics course be offered in conjunction with this introductory skills course.  This may be taught as a career exploration course in conjunction with other foundation [NAME] courses.
 |  |  | #2 The Language of Architecture and Construction:  Students will build the skills necessary to understand what is being communicated through drawings and documents, and in turn, convey ideas, duties, and tasks to others in a form representing the industry.  Students will use and follow industry-specific verbal and visual skills to accomplish workplace/jobsite communications.  Students will exhibit public relations skills and enhance communication skills by listening to and speaking with a variety of individuals.  Students will learn universal signs and symbols such as colors, flags, stakes, and hand signals to function safely in the workplace.
 |  |  | #3 Information Technology Applications:  Students will use technology tools to manage personal schedules and contact information, create memos and notes, prepare simple reports and other business communications, manage computer operations and file storage, and use electronic mail, Internet applications and GIS to communicate, search for and access information. Students will develop skills related to word processing, database management, and spreadsheet applications.
 |  |  | #4 Safety, Health and the Workplace Environment: Students will develop in-depth skills for maintaining a safe and productive environment including following regulations to perform inspections, participate in emergency response teams to perform emergency drills, identify unsafe conditions and take corrective actions, and provide a safety orientation to train other employees in safe practices and emergency procedures.  Students will ensure that equipment is being used safely in the workplace, suggest processes and procedures to support safety in the workplace, and fulfill safety and health requirements for maintenance, installation and repair.  Students will monitor equipment and operator performance to assure workplace safety and compliance with both company and national regulations.
