Students in Building Construction will develop the ability to:
-- Determine the customer's needs for the project,
-- Estimate the materials needed to construct the project,
-- Estimate the cost of the project,
-- Determine the best construction methods for the project,
-- Draw the plans for the project,
-- Determine the best methods for cutting materials for least waste,
-- Construct the project to have a professional-looking appearance.

All students will:
-- Estimate the materials needed to construct the project,
-- Estimate the cost of the project,
-- Draw the plans for the project,
-- Determine the best methods for cutting materials for least waste,
-- Construct the project to have a professional-looking appearance.

Effort/attitude/participation = 50% of grade
Assessed daily, recorded as a weekly grade
Assigned Drawing Projects = 50% of grade
Assessed for quality of workmanship
Estimated materials list will be compared to the actual materials used.
Estimated cost will be compared to actual cost.

Typically, there is more than one project in progress at a time. Some students will work on a shed project, while others will work on the misc. projects. By the end of the semester, all students should have a variety of experiences.
