Technological Design 12 .5 Credit

910003 One Semester

Prerequisite: None

Open to: All

Course Description: This course focuses on technology design steps, including identifying a need, researching the problem, and building a prototype to solve various problems. Students will learn basic knowledge of various computer programs. Students will work in small groups to brainstorm and produce models for the hands on activities they will be completing. The course intends to challenge students to use their creativity to develop solutions to various design challenges.

Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) .5 Credit

910025 One Semester

Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in Technological Design

Open to: 10, 11, 12

Course Description: This course will allow students to sample both Mechanical and Architectural world of Drafting and Design. Students will continue their overview of Mechanical Design allowing students to explore basic types of drawings: working, pictorial and schematic. Using CAD software, students will produce orthographic, pictorial, working and solid modeling drawings. In addition, students will explore architectural techniques, building codes and conventions. Again, using CAD software, students will produce floor, foundation, electrical, plumbing and elevation plans. This course is a hands-on learning experience that teaches students technological literacy, academic and personal development, technical knowledge, and career awareness. This course fulfills .5 of the 1 computer credit needed for graduation.

Architectural Design II .5 Credit

Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in Computer Aided Drafting and Design

Open to: 10, 11, 12

Course Description: This course is a continuation of Computer Aided Drafting and Design, focusing on more advanced drafting techniques and conventions used in the field of architecture. Using Architectural CAD software and basic drawing techniques, students will produce floor, electrical, plumbing, foundation, elevation plans and a pictorial drawing of a business. This course is a hands-on learning experience that teaches students technological literacy, academic and personal development, technical knowledge and career awareness. This course fulfills .5 of the 1 computer credit needed for graduation.

Mechanical Design II .5 Credit

910010 One Semester

Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in Computer Aided Drafting and Design

Open to: 10, 11, 12

Course Description: This course is a continuation of Computer Aided Drafting and Design, focusing on advancing techniques in Mechanical Design. Students using board drawing techniques and CAD software will produce advance orthographic, pictorial, sectional, auxiliary and exploded drawings. This class is a hands-on learning experience that teaches students technological literacy, technical knowledge and career awareness. This course is recommended for students interested in the field of designing, drafting, science, technology, or engineering.
