Programme area for Construction - Curriculum for common programme subject in Vg2 (ANL2-02)

A well-functioning society depends on safe infrastructures for roads, rails, airports, wharfs, buildings and appurtenant technical installations. Climatic, geographic and geologic conditions in Norway create great challenges and place demands on construction projects in areas of environment, technical solutions and economics. Subjects related to technical construction are therefore of great significance for developing and maintaining national infrastructures. These programme subjects shall contribute to developing competence in future employees in subjects related to this type of construction.

The programme subjects shall give the individual a professional basis for carrying out relevant and practical work tasks in social and professional communities. Learning in the subjects shall promote good and safe work habits and multicultural understanding, and enhance the ability to cooperate with colleagues and other vocational practitioners at building and construction sites.

Practical work and holistic, interdisciplinary tasks shall be emphasized in learning the subjects. Using different arenas for learning and cooperation with local businesses can help facilitate the development of working processes. Learning in the subjects shall also illustrate how subject areas stretch from simple trade skills to modern technology.
