Students interested in Industrial Technology will be exposed to woodworking technology. At the completion of this course, students will be able to safely operate hand tools, power tools, and stationary machinery found in woodworking shops. They will develop problem-solving techniques from hands-on experience and cultivate good work and safety habits.

PRINCIPLES OF WOOD CONSTRUCTION
Prerequisite: None                                                                              Grade: 9, 10, 11, 12
Graded: Standard                                                                                 Credit: 1.0

Students will engage in the introductory skills utlized in working with various wood construction omaterials.  They will learn to use basic measuring tools, hand tools and machines, common to the wood industry, to construct basic projects.  Additionally, students will examine various wood construction materials and their properties.  Throughout the course, students will learn components of site and personal safety.

CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS

Prerequisite: None                                                                               Grade: 10, 11, 12
Graded: Standard                                                                                  Credit: 1.0
Time Frame: Year                                                                                  Fees: $30
 

Students learn blueprint reading as it relates to architecture and construction.  Students will use scaling, orthographic projections, dimensioning practices, symbols, notations, and abbreviations to preform area calculations and to interpret floor plan, section, and elevations and develop an estimate of material, time, personal, and equipment needs, availability, and cost.  Using construction plans, students will identify problems or shortcomings related to the layout and installation of materials for the project.

DRONES IN CONSTRUCTION

Prerequisite: None                                                                               Grade: 10, 11, 12
