and rewards, or to reach a goal one must lay out a step by stepaction plan. It is often impossible within this epistemology to entertain alternatives like the joy oflearning, the internal desire to master a topic, or attending to an outcome manifests it.This basic assumption of the necessity of force creates a set of methods. In objectivist science,the purpose is to understand natural mechanisms so that these can be generalized to like systemsand manipulated for predictable outcomes, scalability. Because understanding comes throughquantifying indicators, measurements and techniques must first be devised to enablequantification. These measurements are presumed to be accurate indicators of some naturallyoccurring parameter even though the

Students develop skills necessaryfor reading prints. A set of construction documents, which include the working drawings, are the primarytool used in construction for communicating the designer’s interpretation of the owner’s needs tocomplete a project. They become the contractors’ primary source for estimating, orderingmaterial for, and constructing the project. The most basic skill for anyone involved in theconstruction industry is the ability to read, interpret, and analyze these documents forconstructability.

To “re-energize” the students from time to time, it isnecessary to provide variation in the sequencing and types of activities and to include unexpectedfeatures, such as “pop-up” windows with interesting facts or anecdotes about the content.
