DRAFTING I
Grade Level: 9 through 12
Prerequisite: None
Drafting I is an introduction to a universal language based on drawings as a form of communication.  Students will learn traditional drafting skills and will have the opportunity to use CAD software.  Drafting skills are necessary for occupations related to engineering, construction, manufacturing, designing and many other careers.  This course is designed for all students and requires no artistic talent.

DRAFTING II
Grade Level: 10 through 12
Prere1uisite:  Drafting I and Instructorís approval
This course provides students the opportunity to further develop their drafting skills.  Students will expand their knowledge of Isometric drawings, Orthographic drawings, Mechanical drawings, Engineering drawings and Architectural drawings.  Basic drafting concepts as well as CAD drafting will be emphasized.

INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
Grade Level 9
This is a one-semester course that introduces students to basic industrial concepts as well as providing an opportunity to apply computer skills to projects relating industry.  Students will begin with a brief overview of the evolution of technology.  They will then learn to use structured problem solving to solve complex problems posed by the instructor.  Students will next learn basic drafting concepts and they will be able to apply those concepts to both manual and CAD drafting projects.  The final unit of study covers basic DC electronic theory and fabrication.  Students will keep a journal detailing their daily activities and prepare a presentation explaining how they produced their electronic device.
