CAD/CAM - 40 Weeks - Mr. Gray
Project and Class Pictures (coming soon)
Prerequisites:
Open to students in grades 11 & 12 who have successfully completed Design
and Drawing for Production. Students who wish to take this course in
grade 10 must have special permission from the instructor.
Course
Description:
This course provides advanced and applied experiences on the topics that were discussed in Design and Drawing for Production, using new techniques and multiple solid modeling software packages. Students will learn 3-dimensional drafting techniques with AutoCAD and SolidworksÔ. These software packages will allow you to design, draw and analyze components and assemblies on the computer in a virtual-reality environment. Students will also learn how SolidworksÔ and AutoCAD can be used in conjunction with MasterCAM to generate computer automated CODE that is used by the TechnoCNC machine. This course will consist of a variety of classroom and hands on activities including:

Course
Objectives:
The overall objective of
this course is to provide students with experiences in advanced CAD/CAM techniques necessary in the development of
CNC machined parts.
At the completion of
this course, students . . .
1.
will be knowledgeable of the various types and characteristics
of CAD/CAM software used in industry.
2. will have acquired advanced Computer Aided Drafting skills, necessary to become successful in the field of drafting.
3.
will be familiar with safe operating procedures and maintenance
4.
will have gained experience estimating costs and timeline for
CNC machined
5.
will be familiar with generating advanced drawings for a CNC
machined Prototype.
6.
will have gained experience with the design, programming and fixtures
for mass production projects.
7.
will be knowledgeable in machineable materials, and the tooling
needed to cut them.
Notebooks:
It is required that
students keep a daily notebook (a three-ring style preferred), for notes and
handouts. The binder will become an excellent resource of information for use
later on in their studies, or if they pursue a job in this field in the
future.
Supplies:
Each
student must come to class prepared each day with the following:
(2)
#2 Pencils with erasers, (2) Ball Point Pens, (1) Spiral Notebook, (1) 3-ring
binder
Text:
The following texts will be provided for this course
AutoCAD Basics,
Autodesk
Advanced AutoCAD,
Autodesk
Solidworks Tutorial,
So
Advanced So
MasterCAM Tutorial,
Allegheny Educational
TechnoCNC Tech Manual,
TechnoCNC
Conduct:
Students are reminded to
ensure that at all times their actions and language are appropriate and
professional.
Safety:
Students will be instructed in safety procedures for particular activities and tools and equipment to be used, and are expected to follow these safety guidelines. Students should dress appropriately for lab. Excessively loose clothing poses a safety hazard and should be avoided. Students must used safety glasses when using the TechnoCNC machine.
STUDENTS WHO CARELESSLY
OR DELIBERATELY ENDANGER THEMSELVES OR OTHERS BY THEIR ACTIONS WILL BE
IMMEDIATELY DROPPED FROM THE COURSE.
Cell Phones:
Under no circumstances are
students allowed to use cell phones during class, this also includes text
messaging. Students will be asked
to leave the class if your cell phone rings or if you disregard this
rule. Students removed from class
it will count as an un-excused absence.
Attendance:
Registration in a course
assumes FULL participation in that course.
Attendance is the responsibility of the student, and all class members
are expected to attend each class. Students will be provided with adequate
time to complete assignments. All
work must be completed and turned in before any scheduled absence. It is very
important that students are in class every day. If a student misses a class,
it is their responsibility to make up the work and adhere to the project
outline. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of class.
Students who show up later then 20 minutes to class will be marked
absent for that day. If a student
will miss a class because of a lesson or a field trip, they must inform the
instructor PRIOR to missing the class, and must get the notes and
assignments they missed when they return. All work is due on the date
specified; no late work will be accepted unless prior
arrangements are made with the instructor
Grading:
A grading rubric will be
completed for each project turned in. All
project work must be handed in on time and successfully completed for
full credit. Students will be quizzed
after each unit using the SyconEyes software installed on each of their computers. The
quizzes will be used as an enforcement of topics discussed in the unit. There will be one major test
per quarter which will outline the progress that the student has made during
that quarter.
The students grade will be
based on the following:
| Quarterly Grades | Course Grade | |||
| Classwork | 300 pts | 1st Quarter Ave | =20% |
|
| Projects | 300 pts | 2nd Quarter Ave | =20% |
|
| Quizzes | 100 pts | 3rd Quarter Ave | =20% |
|
| Lecture Exam | 200 pts | 4th Quarter Ave | =20% |
|
| Behavior | 50 pts | Technopalooza | =10% |
|
| Participation | 50 pts | Portfolio | =10% |
|
| Total Pts./Qtr. |
1000 pts |
Final Average | =100% | |
Failure to complete all course
requirements will constitute a failure in this course.
Portfolio:
The students will engage in
a number of detailed projects and drawings throughout the year.
Often these projects just get discarded, and only the memory of them
remains. Each student will create
a 3-ring style portfolio at the end of the year.
This portfolio will include all of the drawings that they completed as
well as hand-outs and notes that they obtained.
The portfolio must have tabs for each component within and will have a
professional cover page. This
portfolio will equate to 50% of their Final Exam Grade, which
will be an accurate representation of their progress throughout the year. The
CAD/CAM Portfolio is due no later than June 10th 2010.
Technopalooza
2010: “Our Tenth
Anniversary”
The MCS Technology
department is very proud of their students work throughout the year.
Technopalooza is an annual event, which is both a fundraiser for the
Technology Department and a fun night of classic cars and technology exhibits.
As a showcase of student work, The Middleburgh Central School
Technology Department proudly announces Technopalooza 2010 on Friday, June 11th
2010, from 5-9PM. Students will be
required to attend and present their work to the community.
Their attendance and participation will equate to 50% of their Final
Exam grade. If for some reason the
student cannot attend the event, arrangements must be made 2-weeks prior to
the event with the instructor.

Assessments
Students will be given an essential questioner at the beginning of each unit to use as a guide. A grading rubric will be completed for each project turned in. Grading criteria will be discussed for each project, and additional criteria will be assigned for larger projects. General class work and projects will carry a 300 pt total. Quizzes will be given at the end of each unit and will carry a 100 pt total One lecture exam per quarter will carry a 200 pt total. Students will also be given a behavior / participation grade daily and will equal 100 pts per quarter. There will be a 5-week progress report generated based on the instructor’s view of students’ standing, half way through the quarter. All project work is due (1) week before the end of the marking period, and must be successfully completed for full credit. Students with less than a 90 average at the end of the year will take a comprehensive final exam, which will cover all of the essential questions as outlined above.
The students grade will be based on the following:
