| ORIENTATION TO TECHNOLOGY 150 (TECH I) 1 year – 1 creditAll Grades Orientation This is a beginning course of general drafting fundamentals in which the students learn the use of drafting, equipment, and materials and techniques as a universal means of technical communication. Drafting techniques are studied and drawings made with emphasis on the concepts of shape and size description through multi-view and pictorial drawings as used in mechanical drawings. The student will also learn to apply basic methods and techniques needed to make architectural drawings. Freehand technical sketching and lettering are practiced as a rapid method of expressing ideas. The student becomes acquainted with various occupations and opportunities requiring a working knowledge of drafting. There may be some expense for drafting supplies and shop/lab materials. |
| TECHNICAL DRAFTING 250 (TECH II) 1 year – 1 credit Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Pre-requisite: Orientation to Technology 150 Skill Development This is an advanced course in technical drawing, consisting of machine related drawing including developmental views, sectional views, auxiliary views, exploded views, assembly drawings, threadwork, tolerancing, dimensioning and other related areas. Computer assisted drafting equipment and concepts are introduced. Coursework will also deal in architectural related drafting including designing, making pictorial drawings, and scale models of buildings. Conventional design methods utilizing efficient use of space and materials are stressed. 3D and blueprint design techniques will be introduced. There may be some expense for drafting supplies and shop/lab materials. |
| PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY SHOP 1 year – 1 credit Junior and Senior Pre-requisite: Orientation to Technology 150 Skill Development This course utilizes the basic skills learned in Orientation to Technology to begin a study of Production Technology and woodworking. Students will use shop tools and equipment to gain experience and understanding in the production of various projects. Skills in both individual and team approaches to problem solving will be developed. Projects will consist of school improvement activities, community projects, and cooperative projects with other classes/clubs. Planned learning activities will allow students to become knowledgeable of fundamental principles and methods to develop technical skills related to masonry, carpentry, and finish work. Instruction includes safety principles and practices, recognition of standard lumber sizes; foundation layout methods; building concepts and procedures; local, state and national codes; cost estimating and blueprint reading. Appropriate safety procedures will be taught and practiced in all phases of shop activities. Leadership skills are developed through participation in industrial education student organizations. There may be some expense for shop/lab materials. |
| INDEPENDENT CAD (TECH III) KEC # 274 Junior, Senior Pre-requisite: Mechanical Drafting 250 and permission of Instructor. This course provides a strong background for students interested in fields requiring technical drawing skills. The preparation of students for advanced work in post-secondary programs or for semiskilled job entry is emphasized. Students work with instructor on developing individualized curriculum pertaining to the area of student interest. The student is given the opportunity to explore and apply previously learned skills in the areas of architecture, structures, design, machine drafting, electronic/electricity drafting, graphical representation, technical writing or similar fields. Using and producing Computer Assisted Drafting drawings using AutoCAD 2005 LT, Solidworks, and Google Sketchup software are the major areas of focus. |
