COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:
Technology Systems: An overview course designed to introduce students to the
application of technology to solve problems and meet human needs and wants.
Laboratory experiences are focused on the technology systems of bio-related
technology, communication, computer applications, construction, energy, power,
transportation, and manufacturing. Students will study concepts about
technological systems and the influences these systems have at home, in
communities, and at work. The content of the course includes, but is not
limited to, the study of systems of technology, application of technology,
design/problem solving, evolving technologies, safety, maintenance,
entrepreneurship, leadership, careers, and marketing.
Engineering Graphics: This course is an introduction to computer-aided (CAD)
using the AutoCAD LT software program. The topics covered in this course
include: the AutoCAD LT graphics and text windows, user interface, drawing setup
parameters, rectangular and polar coordinate entry, display control functions,
2D geometric objects, selection sets, object snap modes, X and Y coordinate
filters, inquiry commands, text creation and modification, and 2D editing
commands. The course applies the AutoCAD LT program to mechanical, schematic,
and architectural drawings.
Architectural Graphics: This course introduces the more advanced features of
the AutoCAD LT software program. The topics covered in this course include:
editing polylines and splines, dimensioning and dimension variables, hatching
patterns and techniques, printing and plotting a drawing, creating and setting
up paper space layouts, blocks, attributes and external references, slide shows
and script files, isometric drawing and dimensioning, and an introduction to 3D
modeling.
Manufacturing Technology: A technical course which enhances a students
understanding of various metallic and nonmetallic materials, processes, and
products. Materials studied may include polymers, ceramics, woods, composites,
and metals. Experiences include safety and instruction of tools and machines
associated with manufacturing. Mathematical and scientific concepts are
stressed as students study various processes used for transforming materials
into products. Students study the design of products, quality control, design
of production tooling, machine tool setups, and manufacturing systems.
ABSENCE POLICY AND MAKE-UP WORK:
- Class attendance is mandatory; you must present
an admit slip upon returning to class after an absence, or you will be
sent to the office to obtain one (and receive an unexcused tardy).
- Make-up work must be discussed with your
teacher. Late work will be accepted the following day. Special
circumstances will be discussed with your teacher.
GRADING POLICY:
- The test average will count 50% of your overall
average; the daily grade average will make up the remaining 50%.
- Daily grades consist of graded homework, class
assignments, announced and unannounced quizzes, and lab assignments.
- Deficiency reports will be sent to any student
whose average falls to 75 or below.
