Computer Graphics 12 (DDT 12)-Technical Visualization 4 credits

Prerequisite: Computer Graphics 11
This 3rd level course in computer graphics is for the student who wishes to specialize in a particular area of computer generated imagery. You will have the opportunity to develop specific skills that you have a particular interest in, such as character modeling, 3D modeling, special effects, mechanical drafting, architectural drafting, web design, or prepare for a District Scholarship project. An individual plan of study will be developed based on your plans, abilities, and career objectives. Enrollment MUST be approved by Mr. Jung.

Drafting & Design 12 (DD 12) 4 credits

Prerequisite: Drafting & Design 11
This course is for the student interested in the field of architecture, construction, interior design and the likes. Now you will have a chance to draw a realistic set of house plans that you’ve always dreamt of. You will explore in depth specific areas of construction as it applies to your set of building plans.

Computer Graphics 11 (ICTM11) 4 credits

No Prerequisite but CG 9 highly recommended
If you want to learn how to draw better and learn how to create computer graphics, you’ll enjoy this course. Good 3-D modeling is time consuming and a skill that is in high demand. 3-D models are utilized for not only the obvious, such as character animations and video games, but also in product design, sales presentations, scientific simulation, environmental planning and architectural design to list only a few applications. As the growth of the motion picture industry and interactive internet market expand, the future of 3-D is vast and growing exponentially. The importance of 3-D modeling and CAD skills cannot be overemphasized. Develop skills to fill this shortage

Drafting & Design 11 (DD 11) 4 credits

Prerequisite: None
If you want to be a car designer, engineer, building developer, or industrial designer, then learn to read and draw in the language of draftsmen and other technical illustrators. This is an exploratory course in drafting to provide you an opportunity to make an informed decision about further study in drafting. Learn to sketch and draw floor plans, buildings, cars or just learn to draw better with a computer. Emphasis will be placed on becoming familiar with AutoCAD, Rhino 3D and drawing in multi-views and pictorial drawings.

Info & Communications Technology 11: Modular Survey (ICTX 11) 4 credits

Prerequisite: None
ICTX is a project-based program that explores all aspects of digital design, creation, transmission and management. This course is a modular course that offers multiple possible streams to complete the course. Students will be assigned the task of identifying the modules they with to study. The emphasis in the course is always placing the student in the driver’s seat, and empowering them with the skills to develop a successful self directed learning process and life changing experience! With this increase of freedom in course approach the student really needs to assume full responsibility for actions and accomplishments.

Woodworking

Tech Ed. 10: Woodwork (TEW 10) 4 credits

Prerequisite: (Woodwork 9)
This course gives grade 10 students a more in-depth study of woodworking techniques and practices. Students will be involved in the planning, design and production of products. Effective planning and problem solving will be emphasized.
In addition to skill development and project
work, students will cover units in materials technology, mass production techniques and a woodworking career survey.

Carpentry & Joinery 11 (CJ 11) 4 credits

In this course, students will develop their skills in a wide range of woodworking operations while designing and building a set of projects in wood. Problem solving and design skills will be emphasized. Students will also gain experience relating to construction materials, wood surface protection, equipment and tool maintenance, and mass production techniques.

Carpentry & Joinery 12 (CJ 12) 4 credits

Prerequisite: CJ 11
This course emphasizes bench work and joinery skills. Students will construct self-designed projects using various machine skills and joinery techniques. Furniture pieces, cabinets, canoes and kayaks are possible projects for this class.
Also available:
C & J12: Furniture Construction (CJF 12)
C & J 12: Woodcraft Products (CJP 12)

Metalworking

Metal Fab & Machining 11 (MFM 11) 4 credits

The students will work on their own projects after assigned work is complete. Required projects will help the student utilize industrial equipment: lathe, milling machine, drill, grinder, power saws, welders, forge and casting of aluminum. Students anticipating taking Mechanics 12 should take this course.

Metal Fab & Machining 12 (MFM 12) 4 credits

Prerequisite: MFM 11
Students will complete a set of small skill building projects focusing on senior level machining techniques using foundry. In addition, students are expected to develop plans and to fabricate at least one major metal project. Drafting skills are an asset but are not mandatory. Students must be prepared to work in a busy shop setting.

Auto Mechanics

Tech Ed. 10: Mechanics (TEC 10) 4 credits

Mechanics 10 is a course for grade 10 students hoping to enroll in mechanics classes in their grade 11 and 12 years. This course introduces students to fundamentals of the internal combustion engine, basic automobile theory and maintenance and current trends in alternate energy theory. Students will gain experience that will help them in understanding expectations and the work ethic required for participation in Mechanics 11 and 12, and in trade schools.

Automotive Technology 11 (AT 11) 4 credits

Basic automotive theory and construction of modern auto systems are covered with equal theory and lab time. Oil changes, radiator flushes, tune-ups and air care are just some of the topics covered. This is an introductory course, but first priority will be given to students who have taken Pre-auto 10 and Metal Working 11. Coveralls or a shop coat are recommended for students who are taking this course.

Automotive Technology 12 (AT 12) 4 credits

Prerequisite: AT 11
The Auto 12 program expands on principles of theory and shop procedures learned in Mechanics 11. More detailed instruction will be given in the areas of tune-up diagnosis and troubleshooting. Students are expected to work independently with emphasis placed on quality practical work rather than theory.

AT12: Engine & Drive Train (ATD 12)

AT12: Auto Electric & Electronics 12 (ATE 12) 4 credits each

Prerequisite: AT 11 & AT 12
These are a continuation of Automotive Technology 12, offering the student additional shop time and instruction for more intensive work. Students will be expected to work on self-paced theory along with an extensive project. For example, in Engines and Drive Trains a student may re-build an engine and complete the accompanying theory-related assignments that go along with it. These courses should suit students who may want to go into the trade.
