WOODS TECHNOLOGY I/DRAWING TECHNOLOGY I
First Semester - This course consists of basic fundamentals of
mechanical drawing. In mechanical drawing the student will learn how
the men who design buildings and machinery use lines and figures
instead of words. Areas to be covered are: Lettering, use of drawing
instruments, geometric construction, three view orthographics,
working drawings, and occupational information. Students will be
required to do a certain number of drawing projects set up by the
instructor. At this level of technology drawing, there will be an
introduction to the basic computer aided drafting (CAD). Drawings
will be completed to reflect skills learned.
Second Semester - This course will provide instruction in the
fundamentals of woodworking. Hand tools will be used in the
construction of a project of the student's choice. Areas covered
will consist of characteristic assembling and finishing. Shop
projects will account for 60% of the grade while tests and quizzes
comprise the other 40% of the grade.
Requirements: A shop fee of $2.50 is charged to each student in
addition to materials required to construct their projects.
ADVANCED WOODWORKING TECHNOLOGY - GRADES 10-11-12 (any two of
the three years)
This course consists of the use of machines in woodworking. A
project of the student's choice is required for him/her to design
and construct. At this level, the work becomes increasingly
specific, and certain instances border on specialization, depending
upon the ability and interests of the students. The instruction in
these areas will include use and care of tools and machines, safety
rules, planning and layout, jointery assembling and finishing. Blue
prints and CAD drawings of projects will be required as time
permits.
Students will be evaluated on tests, progress, and project
evaluation each week and completion of his/her project.
Requirements: Students are required to plan a project, select and
purchase his own materials or purchase school materials which are
made available for most projects.
Prerequisite: Woods Technology I/Drawing Technology I or
permission of instructor. The enrollment in this class is limited to
12 students per class or permission of instructor to exceed this
limitation. A shop fee of $5.00 is charged to each student in
addition to the wood products for projects.
DRAFTING/CAD/CNC - GRADES 10-11-12 (taken one year only)
This course is designed for the student who is planning to
further his or her education in drafting, design, carpentry or
architecture at a university or technical institution.
Time will be spent on board drafting, technical sketching,
materials analysis, CAD (computer aided drafting) and CNC (computer
numerical control).
Students will learn to not only produce working drawings, but
will also be able to understand the total world of design and
manufacturing. Students will have experiences in drafting, geometry,
orthographic drawing, sketching, various views and assembly
drawings.
After a thorough understanding of dimensioning and national
standards in design, students will start on architectural drawings.
Architectural drawings will include views for floor plans,
elevations, window and door schedules, electrical, mechanical and
foundations. Actual framing techniques for modern residential and
commercial construction will also be discussed and tested.
Later in the year students will be introduced to the world of
three-dimensional computer drafting and display. Students will
compare three-dimensional views to actual solid modeling. AutoCAD's
powerful drafting software will be used.
In the final weeks of class, students will explore the world of
computer manufacturing by learning to program small desktop CNC
mills and lathes to produce precision components.
This class is a composite class, which involves parts of the
original classes of Drafting and Advanced CAD.
CARPENTRY - GRADES 11-12 - (1st Semester only)
The course is designed to introduce students to the area of rough
carpentry and the skills needed in the construction trades. Various
types of structures and how to build them will be discussed.
Students will learn how to use the various tools used by a
carpenter. Students will learn how to lay out plans for walls,
doors, windows, and other areas in proper housing construction. The
different ways of measuring, building and laying out rafters will be
taught.
Course work will cover discussions and written tests along with
practical skills tests in the carpentry area. Each student will draw
detailed plans of a small structure which will be built to housing
standards by the carpentry class. The majority of class time will be
spent on the actual construction of a movable backyard storage shed.
Requirements: Shop coats or coveralls will be provided by the
students. Safety glasses will provided by the school with the
student being held responsible for their pair.
SMALL ENGINES - GRADES 11-12 - (2nd Semester only)
This class consists of the theory and practice of the internal
combustion engine. Specifically, students will be involved in engine
systems, part identification, servicing and tuning small engines,
trouble shooting and basic overhaul. Students are required to
overhaul at least two engines.
Requirements: Coveralls shall be provided by the students. All
service parts or outside labor charges will be paid for by the
students. Safety glasses will be provided by the school with
students being held accountable. |
