Course Title: HOME MAINTENANCE ANDIMPROVEMENT

Course Number: IA40Duration: One Semester/One CreditGrade: 9-12Fees: $10.00 for materials usedPrerequisites: None

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of residential buildings. They will studyhouses and their subsystems in order to obtain a better understanding of their home.Scaled construction projects, home maintenance hands-on activities, and writtencurriculum will be used to explore the world of residential living. Associated Builders

and Contractors material will be used to add a slight emphasis on construction in thecourse. Construction safety will be taught throughout each unit. Communication skillsand teamwork will be emphasized.

Course Title: Design and TechnologyCourse Number: IA30Duration: One Semester/One CreditGrade: 9-12Fees: $10 for materials usedPrerequisites: None

This is an introductory course to technology literacy and basic engineering concepts. Thefoundation of the class is: designing, developing, and utilizing technological systems.This is accomplished through many open-ended problem-based design activities solvedusing the engineering design process. Electrical systems are introduced. Curriculumincorporates many real-world modeled hands-on trainers and equipment, which provideinteractive technological experiences. Some basic robotic systems will be introduced.

Course Title: Manufacturing and EngineeringCourse Number: IA31Duration: One Semester/One CreditGrade: 9-12

Fees: $10 for materials usedPrerequisites: Design and Technology

It continues to develop the students ability to use, manage, understand, and assesstechnology. More complicated open-ended problem-based design activities will be usedto increase the students technological literacy. Electrical, robotic, and pneumaticmanufacturing systems are explored. Students will be focusing on technology related

Course Title: WOODS II - WOODWORKING PROCESSESCourse Number: IA51Duration: Two Semesters/Two CreditsGrade: 10-12Fees: $15.00 lab fee per semester plus cost for materials taken home

Prerequisites: Woods I* Depending on enrollment numbers, this class may also be offered as a Zero hourcourse.

This course is designed as the foundation for machine woodworking and cabinetry. Abasic knowledge of casework furniture will be taught in this class. It will give a deeperview into woodworking by introducing cabinetmaking and providing the basics for acareer in a woodworking field. Students will review the care and use of hand tools and beintroduced to portable power tools and woodworking machines. As the year progressesthe students will be introduced to more advanced machines and processes as well asvarious problem-solving exercises designed to nurture problem-solving skills. Students

will learn about joinery used in furniture construction, making a materials bill, andreading complex working drawings. Students will also be introduced to hardware and itsapplications and limitations. Class time will be divided between a classroom setting andlaboratory work. Students will build a small assigned, introductory project, and thenchoose 1 to 2 moderately sized furniture projects from a short list provided by theinstructor. A down payment must be paid before starting the furniture project.

Actual total cost of the years projects will depend upon the type of wood chosen, butshould range between $ 100 and $ 150 for all three.

Course Title: WOODS III - CABINETRYCourse Number: IA52Duration: Two Semesters/Two CreditsGrade: 11-12Fees: $15.00 per semester plus cost for materials taken homePrerequisites: Woods II* Depending on enrollment numbers, this class may also be offered as a Zero hourcourse.

This course is designed for the serious woodworking student who is interested inpursuing a career in cabinet making, woodworking, or for anyone who wishes to have theknowledge needed to build fine furniture as a leisure time activity. Students in this classwill utilize knowledge gained in the previous two classes plus advanced techniquesdeveloped in this class to build a challenging cabinet style project. Students will beworking on their own and at their own pace using the instructor as a sounding board forproblem solving ideas. Students may make any project they feel capable of making. Sizeand cost are to be determined by the needs of the student. A down payment must be paidbefore starting the project. The student may choose plans from an outside source or


4/6

design their own project. Written assignments will be included to strengthen the studentsunderstanding of the processes necessary to successfully complete their project.

Each student will also take part in becoming a safety officer for the class. This includesthe student writing a safety presentation to deliver to the rest of the class about the safe

operation of the assigned tool.

Course Title: WOODS IV - FURNITURE DESIGNCourse Number: IA54Duration: Two Semesters/Two CreditsGrade: 12Fees: $15.00 per semester plus cost for materials taken homePrerequisites: Woods III* Depending on enrollment numbers, this class may also be offered as a Zero hourcourse.

This course is designed for the serious woodworker who is interested in designingfurniture. The student is expected to move away from casework cabinetry andconcentrate on designing "free form" style of furniture. Function, size and cost of theprojects are to be determined by the students needs. A down payment is needed beforebeginning the project. The student will research furniture styles and techniques todetermine the type of project he or she will build. Using this research the student willwrite narratives incorporating the information with the methods used while building theirproject. These papers will include technical writing as well as descriptive writing styles.Students will be responsible for building a multimedia presentation to demonstrate thesafe use of a selected machine tool. Also included will be projects designed to nurtureproblem-solving skills in the students.

DANNA AND JAMIECourse Title: DRAFTING TECHNOLOGY 1Course Number: IA20Duration: One Semester/One CreditGrade: 9-12Prerequisites: NoneIntended for: All studentsThis course is designed to be an exploratory course that will introduce beginning students to thebasic skills of two and three dimensional sketching, drafting (board drawing and CAD) andproblem solving. Students will learn the use of drafting tools and terminology to produce single-view, multi-view, and other related drawing types used in industry. Quality line work, lettering and

solutions along with problem solving, critical thinking, and self motivating skills are emphasized.This class is a good elective for those interested in any of the following areas: carpentry andbuilding construction, interior design, art, woodworking, metalworking, heating and airconditioning, electronics, engineering, and architecture.
