Industrial Technology Department

Mechanical Drawling	Any students desiring to purse the fields of architecture, engineering, construction, or any math related career would benefit from this class. The class stresses blue print reading and development and improvement of math skills. Some areas covered are basic drawling procedures, and all forms of measurement, lettering, geometric construction, orthographic projection, and isometric.
Wood Technology 1-4	This class is an introduction to basic woodworking tools, materials, and processes with an emphasis on applied mathematical skills. Many math and geometric principles are alos reinforced in this class. Students will learn basic hand and machine tool operation and safety. Hands-on, three-dimensional problem-solving skills are used to produce a variety of wood projects. In Wood 2-4 an emphasis is also placed on jointery and advanced projects. Wood technology is recommended for mal and female students. This course may be taken more than once with higher level projects being done each year.
Machine Technology 1-4	This course is designed for the student to learn various types of machinery used in industry today. It introduces students to the techniques and skills required in machining, welding, forging, foundry, and heat treating of various metals with real world applications of mathematical concepts. Basic operation and safety involved in the use of the machines and basic hand tools will be stressed. This course should be a must to perspective engineers, architects, industrial designers, tool & die desifners, mechanics, or anyone pursuing math related fields of study.
Sheet Metal	This course is designed to teach project planning development and basic hand-machine tool skills. Pattern development, making projects, fundamental metals, working hand-machine tool skills,, and some welding are included.. A tool box and at least one (1) additional project are required. Sheet metal technology is a class that places a lot of emphasis on geometric construction. Many fine projects are available in the fields of architecture, engineering, construction, heating & cooling, automotive, drafting, or designing.
