Assignments Sept 2018

September 2018

Generally there are limited outside assignments for Technology Education. Most everything is accomplished during the course of the class period and/or any free time the student can get to the shop to catch up and stay current.

At this point in time, the class has discussed Global Technology as it relates to manufacturing and production worldwide.

The importance of freehand sketching, measuring with rulers and tape measures, and simple fractions is stressed as an extremely valuable means of communicating concrete ideas quickly. With that in mind the first few weeks in class are spent reviewing and reinforcing these simple concepts.

Students wil complete a series of projects beginning with Technical drawing and measurement. If students can measure and draw, they will be able to express their creations. This ill be incorporated into hands on projects, 3D printed projects and also machined projects. Students will also use CAD, Computer Aided Drafting, to draw and design their projects.

Students will also learn basic coding and programming thru Virtual Reality and small robotics.
