This magazine is affiliated with the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and has generated new interest in the approach to construction related education programs. The article described a grant program developed specifically for adolescent learners currently enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs in high schools that relied on competent personnel with actual field experience to present a portion of the lesson plans associated with the program’s developed curriculum.  The program’s curriculum and related lesson plans were developed to fit the chapter outlines of the National Center

” II. BackgroundThe present era of customer-driven global competition, a consequence of lowering the barriers tothe movement of goods, services and technology across the world in the last decade, hasprofoundly transformed U.S. industry. Although this transformation has not been uniform acrossall industry sectors, this new regime has imposed a culture of continuous change on corporationsthat need to remain globally competitive. Such corporations have to identify their corecompetencies and strive to be "world-class." The new paradigm of continuous change and theglobal imperatives for flexibility and agility have generated a need for engineering graduateswho can migrate from one discipline to another, who are sensitive to non-technical issues
