Technological Design courses provide students with a variety of learning experiences that focus on the practical application of the principles of design and woodworking. These project-based courses emphasize problem solving to meet design\build challenges.
Students learn to apply knowledge of research, historical trends, design, materials and fabrication methods, to develop innovative and environmentally sustainable products, processes, and/or services. The technologies and processes used to create design solutions include both traditional and computer-based drafting methods, scale models, prototypes, displays, portfolios, and presentations.
Students also learn about the tools that help build the products they’ve designed. Projects are then built and are theirs to take home.
TDJ2O (Gr 10) - Technological Design
TDJ2O (Gr 10) - Technological Design
All TDJ 2O classes take place in lab 114. With the help of Chromebooks, student first learn how to design various parts using an on-line designing software called OnShape. Once the software application has been mastered, students then start learning about design and manufacture of their own parts. Onshape is a cloud based 3D modeling software that requires no download and can be used on most devices including Chromebooks,
Throughought the course of the semester, students will have the chance to learn through the process of "Reverse Engineering" how simple machines and projects come to life.
Each project follows the same design cycle which includes research, design using computers, construction and reflection. Student work is stored on an electronic portfolio which is created as the course progresses. Successive projects become more and more challenging as the semester continues.

TDJ3M (Gr 11) - Technological Design
TDJ3M (Gr 11) - Technological Design
Grade 11 Technological Design takes place in room 115 (shop) and room 217 computer Lab. The grade 11 course builds on skills developed in grade 10 but also reinforces the basics of design and build for those that are new to Technological Design.
Onshape is the design software that is used in Our Tech Design courses. Onshape is a cloud based 3D modeling software that will allow students to create professional looking projects and working drawings. There is no download required and will run on most devices including Chromebooks.
Students learn to use the software and apply knowledge to design their projects prior to building them. This is an essential part of the planning process and essential part of Technological Design as a whole. Students will learn how to create individual parts, assemble parts using various assembly constraints, and create working orthographic drawings for the building process of the various projects.
More advanced joinery techniques are taught and used resulting in sturdy, attractive, and long lasting pieces of woodwork.
Projects are larger than in the junior grades requiring more in depth planning and take longer to design and build. Students are given certain project parameters and can adapt projects to personalize them with specific variations to suit their needs.
Part of all Technological Design courses include a working Portfolio which include a design component, procedure component, and reflection component for each project. It is a way to track progress as well as creating a showcase of the students work.
Suggested Prerequisite - TDJ20
TDJ4M (Gr 12) - Technological Design
TDJ4M (Gr 12) - Technological Design
The Grade 12 Technological Design coiurse is a continuation of the learning that begins in grade 11 TDJ3M. It takes place in room 115 (shop) and room 217 computer Lab. The grade 12 course builds on skills developed in grade 11 and also reinforces the basics of design and build.
Onshape is the design software that is used in grade 12. Onshape is a cloud based 3D modeling software that will allows students to create professional looking projects, working drawings, and bill of materials.
Students continue to learn to use the software and apply knowledge to design their projects prior to building them. This is an essential part of the planning process and essential part of Technological Design as a whole. Students will learn how to create individual parts, assemble parts using various assembly constraints, and create working orthographic drawings for the building process of the various projects.
