TCJ4C1 – Grade 11 Construction Engineering Technology
This course enables students to further develop knowledge and skills related to residential construction and to explore light commercial construction. Students will gain hands-on experience using a variety of materials, processes, tools, and equipment, and will learn more about building design and project planning. They will continue to create and interpret construction drawings and will extend their knowledge of construction terminology and of relevant building codes and regulations, as well as health and safety standards and practices. Students will also focus on environmental and societal issues related to construction engineering technology, and will explore career opportunities in the field.

Students will incorporate Catholic social teachings, as they become critical and innovative problem-solvers who question the use of human and physical resources as well as understanding the implications of computers and related innovations. An emphasis on problem solving models helps students create solutions that recognize our God-given responsibility to respect the dignity and value of the individual, the protection of the environment and ethical and moral use of the world’s resources.
