730 Computer Aided Drafting - Credit 1

In this course, students will discover uses of the computer and its effect on the world of engineering and design.  Drafting is the language of industry and this course will help the student who is interested in the computer and who also wants to learn some basic drafting skills.  All phases of drafting and how these phases are affected by the computer will be discussed.  The computer is the future in all drafting and design.  This course will be advantageous for students who are thinking of pursuing a career in the technologies or engineering fields.  This is a good basic CAD course and also meets the computer fluency requirement.

745 Pre-Engineering Drawing - Credit 1

Pre-Engineering Drawing is designed as an elective to aid those technical and engineering prep students interested in schools of higher learning, such as technical and engineering colleges.  Emphasis will be placed on the various methods of drafting needed to communicate in industry, including methods of communication and problem solving idea development.  Since drafting is the language of industry, the mastery of these techniques is essential for success in many of the technical and engineering fields.

Four disciplines will be covered: Mechanical Engineering, Computer Aided Drafting, Architectural Drawing and Design, and Civil Engineering.

*746 Architectural Design I - (S) - Credit ½

This course will be a discovery process for the student by relating the influences of the architectural features of the past and how they have influenced the architecture of the present.  Students will be required to research, design and sketch some simple house plans.  Also, students will be required to build a model house of an existing house design for which they have drawn construction plans.

*747 Architectural Design II - (S) - Credit ½

         Prerequisite:  Architectural Design I

This course is an extension of Architectural Design I for the student who wants to pursue this architectural program further.  More information will be given through additional slides and photographs showing many more types of architecture, site design and interior designs available throughout the United States.  Also more research and more advanced drafting skills will be taught to the student so they can design their dream house of the future.

This course is open to all students at Winslow High School.  Students are not required to have any previous drafting experience to gain benefits from this course.

*748 Independent Study - Architectural Design  - (S) - Credit ½

         Prerequisite: Architectural Design II

This is an advanced course for the student who wants to pursue further education in the field of architecture.  The format of this course will be in a true independent study style.  The student and instructor will formulate a set of goals at the beginning of each term.  The student’s grade will be based on the successful completion of these goals.

750 Independent Study - Engineering Drafting - Credit 1

       Prerequisite:  Pre-Engineering Drawing

This course is designed to meet the individual needs of the student by the student and the instructor together.  It is an advanced course in drafting and design, and maturity and motivation are essential for the successful completion of the course.  As this course is a truly independent study course, the course that you develop may be strictly an engineering graphics course or it may be an architectural engineering course or an engineering problem solving course; anything that you and the instructor come up within reason for the high school environment.

751 Independent Study - Computer Aided Drafting - Credit 1

       Prerequisite:  Pre-Engineering Drawing or Computer Aided Drafting

This course is designed for the individual needs of the student by the student and the instructor jointly.  This will be an advanced drafting course where many new concepts in drafting will be explored.  The computer will be used extensively by using a computer aided drafting software program to help students eliminate the need for the use of the normal drafting board and drafting equipment.  This will be a full year course and many problem-solving activities will be worked on.

752 Advanced Computer-Aided-Drafting and Design - Credit 1

       Prerequisite:  Independent Study - CAD

This course is designed for the individual needs of the student.  Advanced training in CAD as it relates to job/engineering situations in the world of work or higher education.

754 Introductory Drafting - (S) - Credit ½

This is a semester course open to any student who desires a short course in drafting.  The course will cover all major drafting groups such as: sketching, multi-view drawing, sectional drawing and perspective drawings.  Grading will be based on abilities, efforts and accomplishments of the individual.
