Lathe Project)
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.
Welding
Students majoring in welding will use all of the welding
processes mastered in Tech Systems plus:
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding
Plasma Cutting
Blueprint Reading
Project Design and Layout
Precision
Machining
Students majoring in precision machining will use all of the
machining processes mastered in Tech Systems plus:
Vertical Milling Machine Operations
Precision Measuring
Use of the Machinery’s Handbook
Blueprint Reading
Project Design and Layout
Computer Applications
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”.
Class Rules
1. Be in your seat when the bell rings.
2. No food, drinks, or gum in this building.
3. No tobacco.
4. No profanity, obscene language, or obscene gestures.
5. No horseplay.

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%.
