Students will be instructed on the design and building of projects in many areas of the
Industrial Technology Field.
The
first quarter, students will be required to use drafting equipment to complete
drafting assignments. This portion is a "hands-on" adventure into the
common and correct techniques used in the drafting world.
Students will then be required to build
two predetermined
group wood projects. Many of the basic woodworking machines will be
discussed and demonstrated before the students may use them. Once the
two required projects have been constructed, students may use their time to
construct a "students choice" project.
The third quarter, students will learn of the many techniques and machines
used in the metalworking field. They will be required to build a sheet metal project and an Arc
welding figurine project.
The
fourth quarter is a fun "students choice"
project or group project. An example of one: we discuss the inner
workings of an automobile. Each student will then build a car which will
compete against the other cars in their class.
Throughout the year students
will be taught the safe and correct
use of many woodworking and
metalworking tools and machines.
Students will view a demonstration on each machine and take a safety
test.
