Development
Opetussuunnitelma perustuu yhteistyössä rakennusliikkeiden ja -järjestöjen kanssa vuonna 2007 määriteltyihin osaamistavoitteisiin. Osaamistavoitteita tarkistetaan ja täsmennetään parhaillaan, ja muutokset otetaan huomioon vuoden 2012 opetussuunnitelmassa. Osaamistavoitteet on esitelty rakennustekniikan ja rakennusalan työnjohdon koulutusohjelmien neuvottelukunnalle.
Opetussuunnitelmaa on kehitetty yhteistyössä rakennustekniikan neuvottelukunnan ja muiden yhteistyökumppaneiden kanssa. Lisäksi pidempijänteistä kehittämistä varten on perustettu rakennuslan tulevaisuustyöryhmä, johon on koottu asiantuntijoita rakennuslalta ja muista sidosryhmistä.
