"2007 First Day Handout"
Warm Up Drawings:
These
drawings are designed to review basic skills and increase the number of
example drawings for your portfolio.
This year we will start with Chief Architect review. Then move to
Cadvance. Details will be listed on a worksheet.
Advanced Skill Development:
D
& D III students do individualized self-paced learning projects
during most of the semester. From
time to time as determined by the instructor the class will be directed
back to standard learning activities. Upgrade of software training, review of software, computer
configuration changes, and school district directed leanings are
examples of this type of activities. This year one of the main
focuses is a new software
called SolidWorks. Our SolidWorks advisor Mr. Jason Cloyd will help us
install and use this nationally ranked 3D design software.
Senior Project:
The
senior project in Design and Drafting III class demonstrates you have
employable skills and that you have met all the course standards. This sample drawing(s) can be used at job interviews and also
meets the requirements of the American Design Drafting Association’s
National Contest. This long
term project is the biggest effort of the three semester program. An individual conference will be held with the instructor and
each student before work is started. There are several handouts to help you select your project.
Several engineers and architects, serving as our advisors, will
be available to work with you as you research and draw your senior
project. The senior project
must be in one of the following categories:
Architectural
Drawings
Architectural
Rendering
Machine
Mechanical Working Drawings
Technical
Illustration Drawings
Electrical
/ Electronic Drawings
Civil
Drawings
Piping

Structural

Service
Projects:
Scholarship
evaluation committees add points for service to community. College and university officials consider service/learning credit
in evaluating your applications for admission.
At
CCHS service projects are done to provide service to others and make
learning more real by doing projects that directly benefit our school or
community. Several CCHS
classes encourage students to do volunteer help in our community.
Non-profit organizations throughout Fremont County need help with
various projects. In the
past our students have designed buildings, made maps, designed
playgrounds, machinery, and made proposals to governmental agencies.
Committees and individuals have requested our help to plan,
organize and design solutions to their problems. A record is kept of the hours spent on these projects and special
service/learning credit is given and added to your official CCHS
transcript.
Plan A and B:
This
counseling activity is designed to create a smooth transition into your
next level of training and/or employment. Your parents and your instructor are also involved in this
project.
