Design - Technology Education (ADST)
Technology Education courses fit under the Applied Design, Skills and Technologiescurriculum.
Technological Education 8
This is an introductory course in which students gain experience using various tools, machines and materials to create projects. Students will learn how to design and create successful projects while working safely in the shop. This is a half-semester course. All students take the Home Economics and Technology Education Wheel.
DRAFTING AND DESIGN
Design & Drafting 9
This course explores the fundamentals of design and drafting. Students will learn about technical drawing and how it is used to communicate information about things which will be built to the people who will be building the objects (i.e. furniture, mechanical devices, houses, etc.). This course integrates both hand drafting and computer-assisted (CADD) components.
Design & Drafting 10
This course is a continuation of Design & Drafting 9. Students’ skills and knowledge in the area of technical drawing and design will be developed further as they complete both mandatory and optional projects (as time allows).
Design & Drafting 11
This course is a continuation of Design & Drafting 10. Students’ skills and knowledge in the area of technical drawing and design will be developed further as they complete both mandatory and optional projects (as time allows). Opportunities for self-directed projects will be given to students who demonstrate a high proficiency in the course content.
Design & Drafting 12
This course is a continuation of Design & Drafting 11. Students’ skills and knowledge in the area of technical drawing and design will be challenged as they complete both mandatory and optional projects (as time allows). Opportunities for self-directed projects will be given to students who demonstrate a high proficiency in the course content.
ENGINEERING
Engineering 9
Engineering 9 is a hands-on, project-based course in which students develop their skills and knowledge related to various aspects of engineering. Students will use the design cycle as well as tools and machines in the shop to solve problems and create projects. Some projects will be collaborative and others will be completed individually.
Engineering 10
Engineering 10 is a continuation of Engineering 9. Students’ skills and knowledge will be further challenged as they create more advanced versions of projects or new projects altogether. This is a hands-on, project-based course in which students develop their skills and knowledge related to various aspects of engineering. Students will use the design cycle as well as tools and machines in the shop to solve problems and create projects. Some projects will be collaborative and others will be completed individually.
Engineering 11
Engineering 11 is a continuation of Engineering 10. Students’ skills and knowledge will be further challenged as they create more advanced versions of previous projects or new projects altogether. This is a hands-on, project-based course in which students develop their skills and knowledge related to various aspects of engineering. Students will use the design cycle as well as tools and machines in the shop to solve problems and create projects. Some projects will be collaborative and others will be completed individually. Opportunities for self-directed projects will be given to students who demonstrate a high proficiency in course content.
