This manual is intended to help you with your teaching of construction materials and methods in still other ways. It offers suggestions on formulating lecture schedules and content. It provides additional questions, exercises, and field trips for each of the chapters of Fundamentals of Building Construction, from which you can select for classroom discussions, homework, examinations, and supplementary activities. And it gives information on adapting the text to the Uniform and Standard Building Codes, the two major building codes other than the BOCA National Building Code on which the text is based.

If you're new to teaching materials and methods of construction, welcome! I hope this manual and the text it accompanies will make it easy and pleasant for you to undertake your new job. If you are an experienced instructor in this field, I hope you will find here some new material that you can cut and shape to enhance your own way of teaching.
