Video case studies highlighting the role of science in construction problems are the core of this professional development program that includes video, print, and web components. Faculty from Oregon State University and Chemeketa Community College are adapting a research-based instructional model and problems familiar to the construction industry generated in previous Advanced Technological Education projects for use in science teaching. The instructional materials are organized into a complete professional development program for middle and high school science teachers and community college science and technology faculty. The project is creating a professional development course in DVD format with video, print, and web components that (a) demonstrate teaching standards-based science through construction problems, (b) demonstrate ways to highlight how high school science is valuable for a wide range of technical professions specifically in construction fields, and (c) present tools and information for helping students understand the relationship between content knowledge and career pathways ranging from the apprentice trades to professional engineer. The design capitalizes on a personal connection between people and their built environments through a focus on construction concepts that link science to people and their communities. Video components supported by web and print material utilize a research-based form of professional development that links cases in professional construction environments with model classroom teaching. Media production is being handled by the Science Media Group at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.

强调科学在建筑问题中的作用的视频案例研究是该专业发展计划的核心，包括视频、印刷品和网络组件。俄勒冈州立大学和切梅克塔社区学院的教师正在采用基于研究的教学模式和之前先进技术教育项目中产生的建筑行业常见问题，用于科学教学。教学材料被组织成针对初高中科学教师和社区大学科学技术教师的完整专业发展计划。 该项目正在创建一个包含视频、印刷品和网络组件的 DVD 格式的专业发展课程，该课程 (a) 通过建筑问题展示基于标准的科学教学，(b) 展示如何强调高中科学对于广泛的技术专业（特别是建筑领域）的价值，以及 (c) 提供工具和信息，帮助学生理解内容知识与从学徒行业到专业工程师的职业道路之间的关系。该设计通过关注将科学与人类及其社区联系起来的建筑概念，充分利用了人与建筑环境之间的个人联系。由网络和印刷材料支持的视频组件利用基于研究的专业发展形式，将专业施工环境中的案例与模型课堂教学联系起来。媒体制作由史密森天体物理观测站的科学媒体集团负责。
