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
Classwork: Because this is a
hands-on class, homework will not be given on a regular basis, but each student
will be required to complete at least (2) projects a week. A project calendar will be handed out for
each quarter, and students will have appropriate time to complete their
projects. We will strictly adhere to the project calendar, and all assigned
work will be due one week before the end of the marking period. The projects will consist of hand drawings,
AutoCAD and Solidworks drawings. Students will also be required to produce
design prototypes using the CNC machine at the end of the semester.
Notebooks: It
is required that students keep a daily spiral notebook. This notebook will be
used for daily notes and assignments. It
must be secured in a three-ring style binder, for 3-hole punched handouts.
Testing: Students
will be quizzed weekly using the SyconEyes software
installed on each of their computers. The quizzes will be used as an
enforcement of topics discussed earlier in the week. There will be one major test per quarter
which will outline the progress that the student has made during that quarter.
Technopalooza 2009: 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 2009 on Friday, June 12th 2009, 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.
Portfolio’s: 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 the remaining
50% of their Final Exam Grade, which will be an accurate representation of
their progress throughout the year. The Design and Drawing for Production
portfolio is due no later than Wednesday, June 10th 2009.
Attendance: 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
calendar. 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.
Grading: 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 drawing projects will carry a 100pt
total, while larger projects may carry a 300pt total. Students may complete projects ahead of time
as assigned on the project calendar, but no credit will be given until the due
date of the project. 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 whom have
completed all of the assigned projects may complete a bonus assignment for that
quarter, which can only improve their grade point average. The grading outline is described below:

I _______________________ have read the above
course outline and have shared the information listed above with my Parent /
Guardian. I will come to class prepared
each day and will do my best to satisfy the requirements as stated above. I
will also keep my school computer access in good standing, so I may continue to
be enrolled in this course, and utilize the school’s drafting software.

Design and Drawing for Production
Skills
(Back to Index)
Design
& Drawing for Production is a 1 credit 40-week course, which will provide
students with basic knowledge about mechanical drawing. The topics covered will enable students to
comprehend the need for technical drawings and their importance in today’s
technological world. Through “hands-on” learning activities, students will gain
useful experience in mechanical drafting techniques, and practices. This course will develop proficiency in
technical drawing by exposing them to advanced drawing techniques, equipment
and software. The first 5-weeks of the course will focus on hand drawing
techniques. The last 35-weeks of the
course will explore the uses of AutoCAD LT2008 and Solidworks
2008 as tools for drawing and designing. AutoCAD is 2-dimensional drafting
software, used by professionals in the engineering and architectural fields. Solidworks is state-of-the-art solid modeling software,
used world wide as a tool for design and engineering
professionals. These software
applications will allow students to design, draw and analyze components and
assemblies on the computer in a virtual-reality environment. The forth focus of this course, CAM
will create these parts by using our new CNC milling machine. This class will be used as a stepping-stone
for future courses.
