COURSE OUTLINE

Based on California State Construction Technology Standards

(The Eagle Expectations Integration of Core Knowledge and Critical Thinking apply to all standards)

 

 

 

Standard 17: Computer-Aided Drafting/Design (CADD) and Operations

 

Students will understand how to use hardware and design software to create geometry and will apply dimensioning practices to complete drawings.  Students will organize drawings, using accepted CADD procedures.  Students will apply appropriate software file-management procedures.  They will produce hard copies of the completed drawings and provide electronic files for a variety of graphic outputs.

 

 

             Standard 18: Perspective Drawing

 

              Students will understand the structure, components, types, sequential construction methods, and applications of perspective drawings.  They will draw objects accurately using two point perspective techniques.

 

 
Standard 19: Research and Design

 

Students will understand research and design strategies that are environmentally safe and appropriate to manufacturing and construction product development in selected technologies.  They will incorporate these strategies (e.g., ideation, review of literature, rough sketches, study model, final sketches, prototype development, prototype evaluation) in the universal problem-solving approach (e.g., input, process, outcome, feedback) for the development of manufacturing and construction products.

 

 

 Standard 20: Geometric Tolerancing

 

            Students will understand current industrial standards of geometric symbology.  They will apply the symbology to the function of the parts and the design intent.

 

 

Standard 21: Working and Production Drawings

 

Students will understand the relationship of detail drawings, assembled drawings, and working drawings.  Students will complete the various types of working drawings, using appropriate line work, symbology, and current standards.
