Building and Civil Construction

In Grade 12, the course sequence is designed to build on the skills learned in Grades 9, 10 and 11. Students will apply concepts previously learned to competencies related to civil construction. Students will continue to master the safety skills from grades 9, 10, and 11, while learning about civil related safety topics, such as rigging, roadway safety, equipment safety, and steel and bridge fall protection methods. Students will be introduced to civil blueprints containing foundation plans, rebar schematics, topographical and grade, and structural steel. They will also work with surveying and grade layout techniques, concrete forming and pouring, rebar installation, and basic structural steel installation and welding. Students will continue to participate in outside production projects on residential construction. Students will demonstrate the ability to complete a job application and interview and to perform entry-level job readiness and trade skills. Students reaching an acceptable level of proficiency may be eligible for Work-Based Learning (WBL). Each student will take the Senior Summative Assessment, which is a computerized interactive test. Technology-related mathematics, reading, writing, vocabulary, blueprint reading and science are integrated throughout the curriculum.
