• MAJOR REQUIREMENTS OR PROJECTS: Completion of traditional drawings and Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CAD/D) Drawings and a Bridge Design. 

• DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to offer students the opportunity to learn about the world of Computer Aided Drafting & Design. Students will learn how to draw various types of drawings with both mechanical drafting tools and AutoCAD (a computer-aided drafting program used throughout the engineering community). This course will also cover a number of other supporting topics such as careers, 3D printing, and problem solving. This course will be extremely beneficial for any student planning to pursue a career related to drafting & design.

Design Studies                                                                                   0.5 or 1.00 or 2.00 Credits                                                                 2 SEMESTERS

• Grade Level(s): 12

• PRE-REQUISITES: Engineering Graphics and Drafting & Design Technology (Permission of instructor)

• MAJOR REQUIREMENTS OR PROJECTS: Individual projects with extensive work on CAD system.

• DESCRIPTION: This course is a continuation of the Engineering/Architecture program that is designed to offer students the opportunity to grow in their knowledge of these fields. Students in this class select, plan, and create projects of their own design based on their interests and future career plans. For example, a great Engineering project would have a student learning how to used Autodesk Inventor (one of the most widely used computer programs in the Engineering community) while a great Architecture project would have a student designing and drawing the dream house of a real-life client, in Autodesk Revit. Students in this class also have the opportunity to find and compete in contests related to their field of study if they choose. This course will be extremely beneficial for any student planning to pursue a career related to Engineering and/or Architecture.

Industrial Woods/Advanced Industrial Woods                         1.00 Credit                                                                                      2 SEMESTERS

• Grade Level(s): 10, 11, 12

• PRE-REQUISITES: Intro to Industrial Technology passed with at least a C- & in order to be in Advanced Woods must pass Industrial Woods with a B or higher.

• MAJOR REQUIREMENTS OR PROJECTS: Fees are based on cost of projects selected by students. Must pass safety tests with an 80% or above before starting project construction.

• DESCRIPTION: Woodworking Technology is designed to provide students with practical information about woodworking materials, planning, tools, machines, processes, safety, and careers. Students in Woodworking Technology I will complete class work and one project. Students in Woodworking Technology II-IV will demonstrate advanced skills and techniques used with machine processes and shop safety practices and will complete one project.

School & Community Project Development                              0.50 Credit                                                                                        1 SEMESTER

• Grade Level(s): 10, 11, 12

• PRE-REQUISITES: Intro to Industrial Technology 

• DESCRIPTION:  This hands-on course is designed for high school students interested in the intersection of industrial technology and woodworking.  Students will explore the principles of structural/visual improvement within school buildings, focusing on practical applications of woodworking techniques and modern industrial practices.  The course emphasizes the design, planning, and execution of projects that enhance the functionality and aesthetics of educational environments.
