Manufacturing Tech (Metal Shop II)
(Prerequisite for this class is Tech Systems)

Syllabus


Students taking Manufacturing Technology (Metal Shop II) are expected to major in one (welding or precision machining) areas for the semester.  Each student will build on previous learning experiences from Tech Systems.  Students are expected to design and build their own welding or precision machining project.  This project must be complicated enough so that it will last for at least the semester.

Computer Applications

Syllabus

Teamwork
Students are divided into teams and they are to create a team name, team motto, a team fight song, and they are asked to present this to the class. The presentation is a major test grade. The students will be in these teams for the remainder of the school year. Students are also assigned to look up and define teamwork, teamwork skills, and determine what the team roles are.

The History of the Computer
Students will work as a team to look up and create a team presentation on the history of the computer. Students will research information about people that were influential to the history of the computer. Along with people, they will find numerous examples of different “computers”.

Computer Terms
Students will define terms related to the function of the computer, and give a real world example of each definition.

Cover Letters
Students are introduced to cover letters. Before they can make one though they must understand what a cover letter does. They will determine what a cover letter is, why someone needs one, what it does, the parts of a cover letter, who it should be addressed to, who you should talk about, in what part you should give your qualifications, what you should request at the end of a cover letter, and the last thing you do before you send it. After students complete this assignment, they will then create their own cover letter. The cover letter will be for a test grade.

Resumes
Students will determine what a resume is, why a person needs one, the parts of a resume, who you talk about in a resume, what pronoun you should use, and the type of info that you should not use in a resume. After the students understand the concept of a resume, they will create their own. The resume will be for a test grade.

Letter of Recommendation
Students are to determine what a letter of recommendation is, why you need one, when you should ask for one, who you ask to give you a letter of recommendation, and whether or not you could be asked to write one yourself. Students will then write their own letter of recommendation. It will be for a test grade.

Business Card
Students will work with their team to create a business card. They will make one on a person in computing history that that was chosen as a team. This is for a test grade.

Brochure
Students will determine what a brochure is, the purpose of one, and why businesses need a brochure. Students will then make a brochure individually using the information they recovered. This will be for a MAJOR test grade. Students will then work together with their individual teams to make two different brochures. One will be on a place and the other will be an organization. The place is The Texas State Railroad, and the organization is The Artist Blacksmith Association of North America. All brochures created will be graded according to the place checklist or organization checklist according to the website provided in class.

Magazine Project
Students will work with their individual team to produce a magazine using only Microsoft Word. The magazine must have a front and a back cover, a table of contents, ten articles, twenty ads, and three public service ads. They will have three class periods to complete the assignment. The whole project will be worth 13 TEST GRADES.

Adobe Photoshop
Students will learn how to manipulate and edit photos using photoshop. Lessons that will be given include layer basics, working with selections, painting and editing, masks and channels, photo retouching, pen tool techniques, vector shapes and clipping paths, advanced layer techniques, and special effects. After students have completed the ten lesson curriculum they will take a camera and go out and get different pictures around the side and behind the building. They are to use their skills acquired in their lessons to manipulate their own photos. The more creative they are, the better a grade they will receive.

Flight Simulator
Students will be able to fly a plane using Microsoft’s Flight Simulator 2000 but before they can do that they must understand the function of a plane and how it works. They will define the phonetic alphabet, and times. They will also determine who uses flight simulator and why they use it, who made the first computer flight simulator, what the six degrees of freedom are, what the FAA is, and what a full motion simulator is.

Alcohol Awareness
Students will research information including what the NHTSA is, the percent of motorcycle operators who die in crashes, what time of night 77% of fatal alcohol crashes occur, the speed of absorption of alcohol, and other alcohol related information. Then they will use a “dummy” program and see what it is like to drive “under the influence”.

Grading Policy

Daily
Along with their daily assignments, students are given a class participation grade. If a student works on his/her assignment during the class and does not get off task then he/she will receive a 100 for their class participation grade. If the student has to sit up at the tables or if the student is sent out in the hall for not staying on task then he/she will receive a 0 for their class participation grade. Daily assignments are worth 50%.

Tests
At the end of every topic covered in this class, students are given a project. For example, after they learn about resumes and what they do then they will create their own using the skills learned. More than one class day is normally given to complete the project. Some projects will be individual and some will be together as a team. Test grades are worth 50%.
