Course Description

Industrial Technology I is an introductory class that allows students to explore the different areas of technology. These areas include computer aided drafting, construction, electricity, manufacturing, and air and space transportation.  Students will develop good work habits and pride in their class work as well as in their lab projects.  Some of the assignments will allow for students to work cooperatively in groups with their peers. The students will also have the opportunity to build personal projects of their choice that they can take home.  Past student manufacturing projects have included bookcases, gun racks, and speaker boxes.

Technology Expectations

Students will be expected to use AutoDesk Inventor 2018 to design all shop projects. Students will be expected to use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs, Slides, and other Google applications to complete assignments throughout the semester.
