COURSE: Structural Systems II
INSTRUCTOR: Ms. Argodale
CLASS PERIOD: 6 & 7, Classroom S-101 or Shop S-100
Course Description
Structural Systems II is an advanced-level course that builds on the introductory skills learned in the Fundamentals of Construction and Structural Systems I courses. This course will explore advanced framing, the physics of structural loads, and the coverings and finishes of structural systems. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to install interior and exterior finishing, including roofing, siding, thermal and moisture protection components, drywall, doors, and trim. Throughout the course, students will interpret construction drawings to complete projects, implementing material estimating procedures and safe working practices. Standards in this course also expand on principles of the construction industry and delve deeper into business and project management strategies . Students will continue compiling artifacts for inclusion in their portfolios, which they will carry with them throughout the full sequence of courses in this program of study. Standards in this course are aligned with Tennessee State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in Technical Subjects, Tennessee State Standards in Mathematics, Tennessee Physical Science Standards, Tennessee Physics Standards, and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) Curriculum.
Program of Study Application
This is the third course in the Structural Systems program of study. Flexibility is built in to offer this course for either one or two credits, depending on school capacity and teacher background. Whether offered for one or two credits, this course can feed into a fourth-level Construction Practicum course in which students can apply the skills learned throughout the program of study toward the completion of an in-depth, semester- or year-long work -based learning (WBL) apprenticeship or internship. For more information on the benefits and requirements of implementing this program in full, please visit the Architecture & Construction website at https://tn.gov/education/article/cte-cluster-architecture-construction/
Industry Certification
Students in this course will have the opportunity to earn NCCER Industry Certification in the fields of Architecture and Construction. Completion of this certification can give students advanced standing in an apprenticeship program administered by Associated Builders and Contractors, or possible advanced standing in entry-level construction-related employment.
