I. COURSE DESCRIPTION FOR CATALOG:

Drafting is the universal language of industry used to communicate ideas in the quickest most efficient method. Everything in the world around you that is manufactured has to be drawn by someone, whether it was an original idea, or someone else’s, it must be communicated in order to be produced. Engineering Graphics is the design of and communication of ideas and concepts.

Engineering Graphics technicians’ skills are utilized in many fields such as: Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Surveying, Architecture and Construction Management. Technicians prepare detail working drawings of architectural and construction plans, machinery, mechanical devices indicating dimensions, tolerances, joining requirements, and other engineering data. They also draft pictorial drawings, multi-view, assembly and sub-assembly drawings as required for manufacturing and repair. They use technical handbooks, tables, calculators and computers to assist in the preparation of drawings.

The four areas of study will include: Manufacturing/Mechanical systems,Architecture and Construction, , Civil Engineering and Surveying, and Structural Engineering drawings. The program is recommended for pre-engineering and pre-architectural students. This course of study is a two year program, two or three credits per year.

II. OBJECTIVES OF THE DISCIPLINE:

The objectives of this program are to develop the attitudes, knowledge and technical skills which will qualify the student for an entry-level (technician) position. In addition we strive to prepare students to be successful in the world of work and prepare them for college.

This course will not be like any you have taken before. The class will be conducted differently and the atmosphere of the class and school will be entirely different from any other you have experienced. We strive to duplicate workplace environment and expectations as much as possible. We expect that our students behave as young professionals in a work setting.

Our primary objective of Engineering Graphics is to equip the student with the knowledge and skills of technology, terminology, and techniques for an entry level position as a technician in many different fields, including mechanical, architectural, civil, and other related areas. This includes development work place readiness skills such as: a quality work ethic, team work skills, leadership skills and problem solving. The class meeting will consist of approximately 30% demonstrative lecture and 70% lab and related activities. We will have guest speakers from different facets of industry and multiple field trips to industry in order to relate classroom information to real world experience and expectations.

This course is 720 (980) hours of instruction. It is a two-year course, for 2 or 3 hours everyday of the regular school session. The class is available to juniors and seniors, however, adult students may be enrolled simultaneously (full time-6 hours daily, for one year).

Prerequisites:Algebra 1

Highly Recommended: Pre-Engineering (which may be taken concurrently). Courses in math, communication, industrial arts, technology education, and machine tool technology are also extremely beneficial.

Articulation Agreements:Agreements have been established with Missouri Southern State College for up to 9 hours in Engineering Graphics and 17 in a combined Machine Tool and Engineering Graphics Curricula. We also have an Articulation agreement with Crowder College in Neosho, for up to 12 hours in Engineering Graphics. Addition Articulation agreements exist with Ozark Technical College. Articulation agreements are agreements between the designated college and Franklin Technology Center that our students will receive college credit for hours they have spent in courses at our facility, based on competencies. Not only does this save time, it also saves money.

National Certification:At the completion of Engineering Graphics II, student will be tested by the American Drafting and Design Associations – “Apprentice Drafter” certification exam. Successful performance on this National Industry exam will result in the student be a certified “Apprentice Drafter”. This certification is active for 5 years.

III. COURSE OUTLINE:A. General Course of Study (CORE):Will be enhanced and supported in this curriculum.

B. Engineering Graphics Units of StudyCourse curriculum is based on Competencies outlined by the Vocational Instructional Management System (VIMS), which has been established by the State Department of Education, for Career & Technical programs.

Duties and tasks to be studied during the TWO YEAR course are as follows:

Duty: A - Drafting Room Procedures #Duty: B - Tools and Equipment #Duty: C - Basic Drawing SkillsDuty: E - Orthographic Drawings #Duty: F - Auxiliary Views #Duty: G - Section Views/Conventions #Duty: H - Dimensioning and Tolerancing as Applied to

Listed are the Competencies that must be met to obtain credit.

Applied Communication Arts Embedded CreditFor Career & Tech students

The embedded credit concept is designed to align mathematics and language arts in a setting where students understand that it is needed in their future. This is real world. Academic and vocational integration is critical for both the high school and the career & tech school. The extra work to earn the “embedded” credit will add rigor to our career & tech programs and will most likely require homework for most of the students. The Applied Communication Arts credit will be awarded based on the development of a portfolio by the CTE student. Each section of the portfolio will have a scoring guide developed for it along with a system to determine an overall percentage for scoring. The following documents will be developed, graded and placed in each student’s portfolio as documentation for this embedded applied communications credit.

C. General Classroom Rules

There are specific behavioral rules that each student should adhere to as follows:

1. Students will be in the classroom ON TIME! This means in their assigned seats, ready to work when the tardy bell rings. In the event you are tardy to class you will automatically lose WORK ETHIC points. Three Tardies will be equal to an absence.

2. Self-manage electronic Devises.Students will be expected to use Electronic Devises (Computers, Cell phones, etc) for EDUCATION PURPOSES ONLY during class time. Personal use is to be limited to before or after school and during passing times and lunch.

3. Students will be expected to interact in lectures and discussions and to demonstrate, in the lab, the abilities and skills which reinforce the lectures.

If you Choose to use unacceptable behavior (talking, not paying attention, sleeping, not working, or other disruptive behavior) you could lose all of your WORK ETHIC Points for that day.

4. Students may leave class with permission. There is a bathroom pass available. This pass is available for one time only during class period and for one person at a time. In the event this is not complied with, you will be sent to the office with a referral and the second time you will lose this privilege.

5. There is a designated time for cleanup, if you cleanup before that time you will lose WORK ETHIC points.

6. Tools and instruments will be issued and assigned to you for classroom use. You may take these tools home to work on projects. However, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS AND BREAKAGE. You must pay for all loss or breakage of assigned tools and books. You may check out reference books or addition tools from the class, again you will be responsible for loss.

10

7. Report all injuries no matter how slight they may be to the instructor immediately.

8. No FOOD or DRINK in the classroom at anytime.

9. BE KIND. No profanity, teasing, rude gestures, or put-downs and Keep your hands, feet, books, and other objects to yourself.

10. No Horseplay. Practice safe behaviors, No throwing, tossing, rolling, or otherwise projecting objects in class.

11. Come Prepared! Get your head in the game when you come in the door. Bring paper, pencil, and other required items to class everyday.

~ Consequences for Offenses

1st offense – Reprimand. The instructor will take student aside and explain what rule was violated and seek their cooperation.

2nd offense -- Call the Parent(s). I believe that education is a partnership between students, educators and parents. Parents have a right to be informed in the students progress, or lack of progress in the students development.

3rd offense – Refer to Director/Principal. The student will be referred with a misconduct report explaining the previous offenses.

VIII. EVALUATION & GRADING:A. CRITERIA:

This class is based on competencies achieved from the performance of the duties and tasks. Students will work under lab and test conditions to produce required work. Typically a student will be provided information for a particular set of competencies, followed by assignments to enhance learning. Upon completion of assignments the students will be assessed on skills by participating in both a written and drawing test. An 80% is required for each section of tests in order for the competency to be considered mastered, 70% - 80% indicates the task has been mastered with supervision, any grade below 70% indicates the task has not been mastered. Students will receive points for the following:

Assigned board drawings and evaluations. Assigned computer drawings and evaluations. Work Sheets and lettering templates. Communication skills both written and verbal Special Projects. Leadership Activities (SkillsUSA). Work Ethic (this includes; absences, tardiness, work habits, and

willingness to follow direction), Time sheets will be critical. Notebooks-Will be kept throughout the school year.

11

Extra credit - approved by instructor.

Points will be totaled and grades assigned at the end of each semester.

2 Year Certificate Requirements:Completion of 80% of Course competencies

90 percent attendance is requiredAccumulative C average or better

Grades will be based on exams, quizzes, homework, class notebook, special projects/presentations, participation, etc.

Grades will be based on TOTAL POINTS EARNED/TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE.

Students are expected to keep track of their own grade. A table has been provided by the instructor for this purpose.

Accumulative Grade Percentage with maximum days of unexcused absentsA - 100-90% Maximum if absent 4 daysB - 89-80% Maximum if absent 5-6 daysC - 79-70% Maximum if absent 7-8 daysD - 69-60% Maximum if absent 9 daysF - 59 – 0% Maximum if absent 10 or more days

All grades in this course of study are based on a weighted percentage system. There are 5 aspects to this course, which determines the weights of the system. This system is in effect so that an individual cannot pass this course by relying on one aspect alone. The percentages are as follows:

1. Work Ethic/ Daily Participation Grade 30%2. Notebook (classroom including Math & English) 20%3. Lab Assignments 40%4. Tests/Exams 10% Semester Work 100%

Semester Work 90% + Semester Final 10% = Semester Grade 100%

On the grade card there will be placed a letter grade of A, B, C, D, F to indicate the grade achieved during the grading period. Each student will receive a Student Profile indicating which tasks have been mastered during the course of the two year program. A certificate will be given only after completion of the course with a minimum average grade of a C and at least 90% attendance. Employability readiness is directly related with the grade achieved and the tasks mastered

12

Days absent can be made up thirty minutes before or after school or on teacher identified days. 120 minutes required for 1 day of make-up.

Elements of your Grade

WORK ETHIC and/or PARTICIPATION GRADE 25%This is an essential element of a career and technical course. It involves tardiness, absenteeism, work habits and attitude, proper care and use of equipment and work areas, treatment of fellow classmates and instructor. There are specific WORK ETHIC behaviors that each student should adhere to in order to EARN their Daily points. Students may earn 50 points per day for demonstration of Excellence in Career Readiness behaviors. Expectations are as follows:

1. To behave in a professional and respectful manner, be punctual, prepared with textbook, writing utensil, any assigned work, a separate notebook for note-taking, and ready to learn upon entering the classroom.

2. To share in the excitement of learning.3. To participate in classroom discussions, group activities, and projects.4. To always look for opportunities to learn, be a resource for others, and stay on

task.5. To seek individualized instruction when needed.6. To prepare assignments, notebooks, and other projects neatly, legible, and turn

them in on time.7. To maintain an open mind, be respectful of others, and their differences.8. To work as a community within the classroom and help fellow students.9. To communicate effectively and develop appropriate documentations for the

pathways of Engineering and Architecture.

TIME SHEETS are Critical in the world of work. In order to prepare students for the expectations of work and to hold them accountable for their time; students will keep weekly time sheets. They will be collected daily and will be recorded and graded under Work Ethic category.

NOTEBOOK/CLASS WORK 20% Notebook, papers, syllabus, class/shop rules, charts. Math & English assignments.

LAB / PROJECT GRADE 40% Labs and projects will be assigned a point value

TEST GRADES 15% Test may be on paper, on computer, in lab, or combination of all. Test may not be made up due to an unexcused absence. Mid-terms and finals are 5% of the test grade.

13

B. Late Work: Late work is unacceptable in the work place. One of the essential skills to be obtained during this course is the ability to meet deadlines. Of course there are exceptions for absences due to illness and school related activities. It is the student’s responsibility to seek missed assignments. Instructors are not obliged to repeat a lab of other in-class experiences missed by the absent student. Students should be aware that the quality of learning experience may suffer as a result of absence and/or chronic lateness. There will be a penalty of one letter grade (10%) for each day an assignment is late up to 3 days. Therefore the following penalties will be assigned for work turned in late:

1 DAY -- 10% Reduction in Grade2 DAYS -- 20% Reduction in Grade3 DAYS -- 30% Reduction in Grade4 DAYS or more -- NO GRADE

A student can miss anywhere between 1 – 4 days and maintain their A, if they miss more than 4 it will drop the grade to a B. Miss over 6 days absent and you automatically fall to a C. Then if you miss as many as 8 or 9 you can expect a grade of a D.ANYTHING over 10 days will result in a grade of an F.

EXCESSIVE LATE WORK WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. A CONFERENCE WITH PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND/OR PRINCIPAL WILL RESULT.

WARNING!!!: ANY STUDENT PLAYING GAMES ON THE COMPUTER OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE INTERNET, OR OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES DURING CLASS HOURS WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR THE DAYS WORK ETHIC .

IX. POLICIES

A. ATTENDENCECrucial:Franklin Tech is modeled after the workplace, in this program students are expected to be in class and on time every day. Personal business must be taken care of on your own time. Approved school functions are the only excused absences. ALL other absences other than school functions are unexcused. Dr. appointments, illness, funerals etc. are all days absent. In the educational process, if instructions and training opportunities are missed, it will be reflected in the WORK ETHIC points received by that student and will affect their grade as follows:

B. ABSENCES:It is the student’s responsibility to follow up on missed work, tests, notes, etc. This should be taken care of at the beginning or the end of regular class time. The instructor can be available before and after school, however the student is responsible for making arrangements with the instructor.

14

Tests: Advance notice will normally be given preceding an exam/test.Quizzes: No advance notice. Quizzes cannot be made upAbsences on exam day: The exam should be made up within 1-2 days of the absence.Absent the day before an exam: The student is still expected to take the exam on the date scheduled.School Related Absences: It is the student’s obligation to turn in assignments, take exams/quizzes, and complete other class duties before leaving. Failure to do so may result in a reduced grade or a 0%. Good rule of thumb: always check with the instructor when you know you’re going to be absent.

Parents will be notified after the 3rd absence:I believe that education is a partnership between students, educators and parents.

Parents have a right to be informed in the student’s progress,or lack of progress in the student’s development

Days absent can be made up thirty minutes before or after school or on teacher identified days. 120 minutes required for 1 day of make-up.

Attendance: (Joplin R-VIII Board Policy amended 7-25-95) students who accumulate ten (10) absences during a semester may lose credit and be dropped from school. Absolutely no make-up assignments will be given or accepted after the 10th absence, this includes tests and quizzes.

C. DRESS CODE: One of our top priorities at Franklin Technology Center is to train the student to

successfully enter and to succeed in their chosen field. Students will be expected to dress appropriately for their career path. Appropriate clothing for students in the Engineering profession consists of long pants, a shirt or blouse with sleeves (“T”-shirts are acceptable), shoes and socks. Female students may also choose to wear a dress or skirt (providing that they are at least knee length) except when they are involved in cross-training or special projects with other manufacturing technology programs. Hats, if worn, MUST BE REMOVED UPON ENTERING THE BUILDING AND REMAIN OFF, WITHOUT REMINDERS, UNTIL THE STUDENT EXITS THE BUILDING.

All clothing must be neat, clean, and in an appropriate state of repair (without holes or ragged edges). “Cut-offs” and gym shorts are prohibited. The wearing of gym clothing (sweat pants), or pajama pants is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

The following clothes are specifically prohibited: Flip-flops, shorts, tank tops, cut-offs, pajamas, gym pants (long or short), mini- skirts, bare midriff outfits (of all kinds), shirts without sleeves or sides, as well all clothes that are ragged, have noticeable holes, contain alcohol/drug/tobacco
