Industrial Arts 9


The Woodworking unit consists of instruction in safe use of tools, learning to identify and use basic hand tools, and some stationary power tools. Students will build two wood projects; a routered pine name plaque and a mission style shelf and coat rack. The Engineering Design unit introduces students to the design process, leading to the design of projects in engineering. Projects consist of designing and building a bridge using engineering principles and testing its strength by causing it to fail. The second project is a competition to design and build an elastic powered boat. In the Electrical Design unit students will be introduced to basic electrical principles and concepts, designing simple circuits, and problem solving with low voltage electricity.
