This guide is intended for use in teaching a course in construction planning and design. During the course, students learn how to use the project delivery process to design low-rise buildings and civil projects, simulate working in an architecture/engineering office that is organized into design teams, and use various management tools to monitor project delivery and ensure high levels of professional performance. The first two sections discuss the guide's development within the framework of North Carolina's efforts to improve technological literacy and the guide's place as part of an instructional system. A list of the course's major objectives and a course outline are provided next. The remainder of the guide consists of learning modules on the following topics: the fundamentals of construction planning and design, planning and design procedures, site selection, design and engineering of low-rise structures, preparation of working drawings, procedures for writing specifications, and methods of designing civil structures. Each module includes information about the length of time needed to complete the module, an introduction to the instructional content to be covered in class, performance objectives, a day-by-day outline of student learning activities, related diagrams and worksheets, and lists of suggested textbooks and references.
