Abstract
This study investigates the increasing developments in building and woodworking
technologies, with an emphasis on how they affect Nigeria's construction industry and
technical education system. Using a descriptive survey research approach, data was
obtained from 120 industrial technical education students using a standardized questionnaire. The findings highlighted major trends, such as the use of computer-aided
design (CAD) tools and advanced woodworking machines, as well as a pressing need for
skills and expertise to keep up with these technological improvements. The study also
found weaknesses in the present curriculum, emphasizing its inadequacy in meeting industrial demands. These findings highlight the necessity of integrating technical education with technological improvements to increase worker preparation and stimulate
innovation in the construction industry.
