Grading Policy
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF DRAFTING TO INCLUDE TRADITIONAL AND CAD TECHNIQUES, DRAFTING STANDARDS,MULTIVIEW DRAWING, DIMENSIONING,ISOMETRIC DRAWING,MECHNICAL,ARCHITECTURAL.




CLASS WORK IS WORTH 50%
TESTS ARE WORTH 40%
NOTEBOOK GRADE IS 10%

STUDENTS MUST SAVE ALL WORK TO HAND IN BEFORE THE GRADING PERIOD ENDS. GET A 3 RING BINDER AND GET ORGANIZED.THESE SKILLS WILL ONLY HELP IN OTHER CLASSES ALSO.


ALL STUDENTS MUST GET THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT.
PARENTS, PLEASE HELP YOUR CHILD COME TO CLASS WITH THEIR OWN TOOLS.
SCALE

30-60 TRIANGLE

45 TRIANGLE

MECHANICAL PENCIL AND A GOOD ERASER.
EITHER A .7MM OR .5MM PENCIL WITH A HARD LEAD AS 2H.
THE SCHOOL BOOK STORE HAS ALL NEEDED EQUIPMENT.
PLEASE GET YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT AND BRING IT TO CLASS DAILY.

Homework Policy
I LOAN OUT "T" SQUARES FOR THE STUDENTS TO DO WORK AT HOME. THE OTHER EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED TO OBTAINED BY THE STUDENT.

THIS IS ONLY USED WHEN THE STUDENT IS BEHIND THE CLASS AND IS MISSING MANY ASSIGNMENTS.

ON OCCASSION STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO RESEARCH AT HOME,OR ON A COMPUTER IN THE LIBRARY.


THE SCHOOL BUYS A VERY EXPENSIVE CAD PROGRAM THAT WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE TO STUDENTS AT HOME. ALL WORK MUST BE DONE IN SCHOOL, GOOD ATTENDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT.IF YOU GO TO AUTODESK.COM YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DOWN LOAD A FREE TRIAL VERSION.

Test Policy
EVERY "A" DAY STUDENTS HAVE A TEST. ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY IS IMPORTANT. AS A STUDENT CAN GET BEHIND THE CLASS VERY QUICKLY. THEN THE WORK BECOMES A BURDEN TO THE STUDENT WITH POOR ATTENDANCE AND THE GRADE FOR THE CLASS SUFFERS.


WE ARE IN THE FIRST MARKING PERIOD. STUDENTS WILL LEARN.

HOW TO READ A MECHANICAL DRAWING.
MEASURE LINES AND ANGLES TO A ACCURACY OF 1/16 ON A INCH
SET UP A USE A COMPASS
DRAW ENTRY LEVEL DRAWINGS
UNDERSTAND LINE SYMBOLS USED ON TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
PROPER USE OF DRAFTING EQUIPMENT.

DURING THE SECOND MARKING PERIOD.

STUDENTS WILL DRAW MORE COMPLEX MECHANICAL DRAWINGS.
THEY WILL UNDERSTAND ABOUT CENTERLINE DRAWINGS.
DIAMETER AND RADIUS WILL BE DISCUSSED.
STUDENTS WILL ALSO LEARN HOW TO DRAW ISOMETRIC DRAWINGS, USING A 30 DEGREE TRIANGLE TO SHOW A PART IN 3 DIMENTIONS.

DURING THE THIRD MARKING PERIOD.

STUDENTS WILL LEARN HOW TO DRAW ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS.
LAYOUT AND ELEVATION DRAWINGS. ALSO WITH PERPECTIVE STETCHING.

DURING THE FOURTH MARKING PERIOD.

STUDENTS WILL LEARN COMPUTER CODES AND DRAW TECHNICAL DRAWINGS ON THE COMPUTER. AN INDUSTRIAL VERSION OF AUTO CAD IS TAUGHT.

Quiz Policy
I GRADE QUIZES AND TESTS THE SAME.
EVERY ASSIGNMENT IS GIVEN A GRADE.
STUDENTS HAVE A GRADING GUIDE TO KEEP TRACK OF THEIR WORK.

5= AN "A"

4= AN "B"

3= AN "C"

AFTER THAT A DRAWING MUST BE REDONE BECAUSE IT HAS TOO MANY MISTAKES AND CANNOT BE USED IN INDUSTRY.

Projects
PRESENTLY STUDENTS ARE WORKING ON DRAFTING BASICS.
EACH STUDENT MUST HAVE THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT.

WE HAVE LEARNED.
LETTERING
LAYOUT
MEASURING WITH A SCALE
READING A DRAWING
DRAWING ENTRY LEVEL DRAWINGS TO INDUSTRY STANDRDS.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT FOR EACH STUDENT.
EVERY STUDENT KNEW OF THESE REQUIREMTS SEPT. 4TH. AND EVERY DAY SINCE THEN.

30-60 TRIANGLE
45 DEGREE TRIANGLE
ARCHITECT SCALE
.7 MM MECHANICAL PENCIL
FOLD WITH 3 TABS TO SAVE ALL WORK AND REFERENCE SHEETS

STUDENTS CAN EXPECT TO DO WELL OVER 100 ASSIGNMENTS DURING THE YEAR. STUDENTS WILL ALSO LEARN AUTO CAD. THEY WILL LEARN COMPUTER COMMANDS TO PRODUCE DRAWINGS AS DONE IN INDUSTRY.

NOW WE ARE IN THE THIRD MARKING PERIOD. STUDENTS ARE LEARNING
3 VIEW ISOMETRIC MECHANICAL VIEWS. IN AFEW WEEKS WE WILL LEARN ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS AND TERMS.

Course Outline
INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE PRINCIPLES OF DRAFTING TO INCLUDE TRADITIONAL AND CAD TECHNIQUES, DRAFTING STANDARDS, MULTIVIEW DRAWINGS,DIMENSIONING,ISOMETRIC DRAWING, MECHNICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS.




ALL SOPHOMORES TAKE THIS CLASS AT TECH.
THE CLASS IS FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR AND WORTH ONE CREDIT.
MOST OF THIS CLASS REQUIRES WORK TO BE DONE ON THE DRAFTING BOARD, USING HANDS ON TECHNIQUE.
AFTER THE STUDENT HAS DEVELOPED A KNOWLEDGE AND REQUIRED SKILL LEVEL, THE STUDENT WILL APPLY THAT KNOWLEDGE TO THE AREA OF CAD.
"COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN".

CAD IS USED IN THE TECHNICAL INDUSTRY. MUCH OF THE MANUAL WORK IS DONE BY COMPUTERS TODAY. BUT IF A STUDENT DOESN'T HAVE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COMPUTER IS DOING THEY WILL HAVE A HARD TIME LEARNING THE COMPUTER CODES.

DRAFTING AND CAD IS ALSO TAUGHT AT ITT TECH, ECC, UB , BUFFALO STATE,IN OTHER LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS DISTRICTS AND BOCES.
