Woodwork Intro 11
MWWK-11-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: None
Nine learning standards organized conceptually to address: project design opportunities, use and creation of plans and drawings, social, ethical, and sustainability considerations, including cultural appropriation, woodwork in historical and current cultural contexts, sequencing of skills, use of different technologies and tools at different stages. Focus on introduction to projects requiring planning for choice of materials and tools. Curricular Competency Development A consistent framework for Curricular Competencies has been established. This course has well-developed learning standards organized into 3 areas using a design thinking model: Applied Design, Understanding Context, Defining, Ideating, Prototyping, Testing, Making, Sharing.
Drafting Intro 11
MTDRF11-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: None
This introductory course is designed for any student considering a career path that demands knowledge of drafting. Some common examples include: engineering, interior design, industrial design, architecture, carpentry, steel fabricator, cabinet maker, and electrician. We explore the elements and techniques used for sketching, designing, modeling and problem solving. We will be creating 2D and 3D mechanical and architectural drawings using programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, SketchUp and more. A basic knowledge of math is recommended since some math concepts will be involved throughout the course.
Electronics Intro
MTELE11-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: None
Learning standards organized conceptually that will address: Designing simple circuits, understanding schematic drawings and construction sequences. Safe use of hand tools and stationary equipment. Social, ethical, and sustainability considerations. The sequencing of skills and use of different technologies and tools at different stages of the production process. Introduction to Ohm’s law, electrical theory, electrical measurement, use of diagnostic and testing equipment. Project work will support Curricular Competency Development. A framework for curricular competencies has been established into 3 areas using a design / thinking / model approach. A residential house wiring component is also included.
Metal Art Intro
YIA—1B-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: None
This hands-on course places an emphasis on studentdesigned jewelry where student creativity is encouraged. Students will learn how to make a silver ring using the lost wax casting method. Students will also use a variety of metal forming and joining techniques to create projects of their own design. A variety of metals are used including silver, copper, brass, and stainless steel. Tentative projects include stained glass ornament, steel action scene, chain mail, silver casting, metal flowers, a glass bead necklace, and others. We will look at self and society related to metalwork, and also personal and interpersonal management during class time.
Metal Work Intro
MMFM-11-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: None
This course is designed to introduce the student to senior metalwork. Students will learn about safety in the workshop, preparation of materials, characteristics of metals and use of all machines. Concepts that will be covered by hands on construction of introductory projects are: welding, forging, machining and various techniques of joining and cutting metal. After the introductory projects students may undertake projects of their own choosing and design, which will use specialized machines. Consideration of social, ethical and environmental impacts, will also be covered.
