Projects, Activities, etc.: Work on personal vehicle as time and space allow Instructional Focus: Theory of operation and re- lated mathematics through hands-on activities ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION Architectural Drafting and Design Intended Audience: Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 Credit: One Trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes: • Construction/cabinetry terminology • CAD software applications • Codes and design constraints • Introduction to blueprint reading • Construction/cabinetry measurement systems High School Registration Guide • House design • 3D Residential design • 2D Floor plans • Basic cabinetry design • Exploration of architectural careers Projects, Activities, etc.: This course will focus on using computer-aided drafting (CAD) soft- ware to design various aspects of residential structures and cabinets. Instructional focus: Computer lab-based; students will use industrial level software to produce construction and cabinetry designs. Instructional Focus: Laboratory-based; Individ- ualized design and product. Focused on safety, integration of math, science and work- place skills. Cabinetry II Prerequisite/Selection Process: Cabinetry I Intended Audience: Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes: • Frame and panel construction • Drawer construction • Joinery • Abrasives and hardware • Exploration of construction/manufacturing careers Projects, Activities, etc.: Students will follow a plan/blueprint and construct a cabinet. Instructional focus: Laboratory-based; instruc- tor-designed product. Focused on safety, inte- gration of math, science and workplace skills. Design & Fabrication I Intended Audience: The Design and Fabrica- tion course will be the first course all Tech Ed CTE students will participate in. As such, it has no prerequisite. Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes: • Students will be able to demonstrate basic engineering design skills using CAD software. • Students will demonstrate understanding of the four career pathways and explore one pathway in depth by designing and fabricating a product in that pathway. • Students will demonstrate understanding of the materials (properties and selection) and processes used in product fabrication. • Students will demonstrate the ability to cor- rectly program/code CNC and 3D printing equipment. • Students will demonstrate the safety atti- tudes and procedures required in the use of fabrication materials and equipment. • Students will experience and be able to articulate the critical attributes of manufac- turing careers needed to be successful in MN businesses and industries. Instructional Focus: • This course will focus instruction on students developing and then applying their knowl- edge and skills in the design and fabrication of a product. Students will be allowed to choose the career pathway of focus. • Students will also be expected to integrate STEM and other content knowledge into their product design and fabrication. • This is an “application-based course” with students demonstrating real-world applica- tion of knowledge and skills in the use of high-tech cutting-edge equipment, soft- ware and materials. Cabinetry III Prerequisite/Selection Process: Cabinetry II Intended Audience: Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 Credit: One trimester = 0.5 Credit Major Outcomes: • Integration of all cabinetry aspects • Exploration of construction/manufacturing careers Projects, Activities, Etc.: This is the culmination or capstone of the cabinetry course series. Students will personally design and construct a product that integrates all of the aspects from the first two courses. Design & Fabrication II Intended Audience: All interested students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 (or any first time Tech Ed upper class student since this course hasn’t previously been available). Prerequisite/Selection Process: Design and Fabrication I Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes: • Students will be able to demonstrate engineering design skills using CAD software. Cabinetry I Intended Audience: Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 Credit: One Trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes: • Knowledge and safe use of tools and equipment • Basic processes in construction of cabinets • Cabinet materials and applications • Finishing materials and procedures • Exploration of construction/manufacturing careers Projects, Activities, etc.: Construction of basic cabinet details. Instructional focus: Laboratory-based; focused on safety, integration of math, science and workplace skills. • Principles of engine operation with related mathematical principles Projects, Activities, etc.: Disassemble, over- haul, and reassemble larger two- and four- stroke engines. Instructional Focus: Lab work 91
