Course Descriptions:
Pre-Engineering: This course is UC “G” (college preparatory elective) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective. Credits: 10. This course is designed to generate an interest in careers in engineering and related fields. Students are exposed to the associated technologies through hands-on instruction and problem-solving activities. Scientific principles, mathematical concepts, and communication skills are taught through an activity-oriented approach. Robotics, electronics, manufacturing processes, pneumatics, mechanisms, and computer design technologies will be explored by students. Student teams will progress through an articulated modular instructional system.
Construction Technology 1/2: This course is UC “G” (college preparatory elective) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective. Credits: 10. Certifications offered: OSHA 10 General Construction. This course is open to all beginning students interested in the wood products pathway. The students will use a variety of woodworking tools to produce useful wood products. All machines will be introduced by teacher demonstrations, multimedia presentations and related student readings. Students will gain experience in planning, designing, layout, estimating, problem solving, and fabrication of wood products. The safe and correct use of tools, machines, and materials will be stressed at all times. Students will apply academic concepts in English, mathematics and science. Emphasis will also be placed upon the students sharing responsibilities with the teacher for the maintenance and management of the shop facilities.
Construction Technology 3/4: This course is UC “G” (college preparatory elective) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective. (Prerequisite: Construction Technology 1/2) Credits: 10. Certifications offered: OSHA 10 General Construction. Construction Technology 3-4 is the advanced course of this pathway. This course will study advanced phases of wood products, including furniture, and basic cabinet construction and sustainable building techniques. Students will learn advanced operational techniques of portable and stationary woodworking equipment, and the use of simple jigs and fixtures. This course is designed for students preparing for postsecondary and technical education in the construction and engineering fields. Students will apply academic concepts in English, math and science to their woodworking projects.
Mill Cabinet Construction: This course is UC “G” (college preparatory elective) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective. (Prerequisite: Pre-Engineering) Credits: 10. Through a series of individual and group experiences, this course is designed to instruct students in the advanced phases of cabinetmaking and furniture making, nomenclature and advanced operational techniques of woodworking and cabinet shop equipment. Students will receive instruction in furniture making, cabinetry, wood and wood by-products and materials used in the construction of furniture. Students will practice communication skills by applying reading, writing, listening, speaking, visual and nonverbal skills. Methods used in achieving the course objectives include lecture on the course as outlined, exams and reading assignments, demonstrations and laboratory projects. Methods of evaluating objectives or outcomes include examinations, review of evaluations, a project, a final examination and participation and attendance. Required materials include a notebook, shop coat or apron, tape measure and pencil.
Multi Core Craft Construction: This course is UC “G” (college preparatory elective) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective. Certifications offered: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10 Hour Safety, Building Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Program. (Prerequisite: Mill Cabinet Construction) Credits: 10. This course has been developed to integrate skills and concepts from the building and construction trades with applied mathematics and English. As a natural progression, students will apply the craft skills required to design and build a variety of scaled structures that meet current code requirements. In addition, students will make real-world connections between the field of construction, math, and English using written projects, construction documents that include creating blueprints, project packets, and student-centered construction projects. This course provides students the opportunity to apply academic knowledge and technical skills through a hands-on curriculum that meets pre-apprenticeship requirements for the National Building Trades Council (NBTC).
