802 Advanced Principles of Design 11-12 5

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Introduction to CAD & Engineering CAD Applications.
This course is a capstone course experience for programs with a focus in computer-aided design.
Proactive problem solving is used in delineating problems and arriving at solutions. Emphasis is placed
on the use of design principles and computer technology in planning, managing, and completing a design
project. Upon completion, students should be able to plan and produce engineering documents of a
design project, including solid models, working drawings, Bills of Material, and will create complete
working prototypes of their designs/projects utilizing state-of-the-art rapid-prototyping equipment such as
3D printers and various CNC machines. This is an advanced curriculum and is recommended to any
student pursuing a degree in design, technology, architecture, or any one of the engineering disciplines.

830 Intro to Wood Technology 1 9-12 5

This course is designed to give the students a comprehensive look at wood working tools, equipment,
manufacturing products, and safety. With the emphasis of safety in the workplace, spend a large portion
of our time going over safe work habits. It is taught as if the student has no previous woodworking
experience. The basic idea of the class is to teach correct usage and safety of most hand tools and many
power tools. Areas of study include woodworking, planning, finishing and shop safety. After the required
projects are completed, the students will choose a project of their own with the guidance of the instructor.
