These lectures give an elementary introduction to the important
recent developments of the applications of N=1 supergravity to the
construction of unified models of elementary particle interactions.
Topics covered include couplings of supergravity with matter,
spontaneous symmetry breaking and the super-higgs effect,
construction of supergravity unified models, and the phenomenon of
SU(2) x U(1) electroweak-symmetry breaking by supergravity.
Experimental consequences of N-1 supergravity unified theory, in
particular, the possible supersymmetric decays of the W+/- and Z0
bosons, are also discussed. The treatment presented encompasses a
broad class of models, both of the tree breaking as well as the
radiative breaking of SU(2) x U(1). Rules of tensor calculus and
the explicit construction of the Lagrangian of the
Supergravity-matter couplings are given in the appendix.
