The Agriculture and Construction Career & Technical Education Cluster introduces students to the designing, planning, managing, building and maintenance of the built environment. Through participation in the Technology Student Association (TSA) and/or SkillsUSA, students have opportunities to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.
Students learn the principles of architecture and increase their understanding of working drawings and construction techniques learned in the prerequisite course. Experiences include residential and commercial building designs, rendering, model development, and structural details. Students use computer-aided drawing and design (CADD) equipment and established standards or codes to prepare models for presentation. The course is especially beneficial to future architects, interior designers, or home builders.
