PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM SYLLABUS AND CONTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to access the class website, the Canvas class, complete the initial class survey, and access the class syllabus and contract.
OBJECTIVE: Students will understand the difference between woodworking and carpentry, and the hands-on experiences that are possible this semester.
Students completed the Initial Class Survey.
Students were given a brief introduction to the class.
The CV Safety Website (linked at the top of this website) was discussed. The instructor explained how this site is to be used, pointing out the location of instructional and safety videos and information for all equipment in the shop.
Random teams were formed once again. This time, students were asked to go to the shop and brainstorm a list of ten safety rules they believe that all users should abide by when in the shop.
The instructor reviewed group responses and supplemented as needed to ensure these General Safety Guidelines were discussed.
Next, students completed the General Shop Safety Test on Canvas.
Time permitting, discussion was started on the first pieces of shop equipment to be used in the class.

Complete this Initial Class Survey. (DUE 9/4 for 5th & 7th, 9/5 for 2nd, completed in class)

General Shop Safety Test (DUE 9/8)

OBJECTIVE: Students will begin to understand the basics of the woodshop, as well as start to form relationships with other members of their class.
Students were assigned a pair of safety glasses and a locker to place them within.
Students worked in teams (randomly assigned) to complete a CV Woodshop Scavenger Hunt.
1. Teams were formed randomly by the teacher.
2. Teams were given a minute or two to learn the names of all their team members.
3. One initial task was handed out to all groups. Once each team had a task slip in their possession, the teacher told all groups to look at their task.
4. Together, groups completed their tasks. When finished, teams reported to the teacher. A different team member must give the answer each time the team approaches the teacher before a team member can repeat as the person who provides the answer.
  - SCORING:
  - If the task was successfully completed and the reporter successfully says the name of each of their team members, the team scores a point.
  - If the task was successfully completed but the reporter fails to give all team member names correctly, the team earns 1/2 point.
  - If the task is not successfully completed or the answer is wrong, the team looses a point.
  - There are no "passes". If you don't know the answer, apply common sense and, in some cases, you might have to just guess.
  - The team with the most points at the end wins.
