topographical drawings using information
obtained from field notes and calculations.
Specialized Applications
DRS40T
Dept. of Ed. Code 8430-40S Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Gr. 11 Drafting
This course has three main subject areas -
structural steel, structural concrete and
structural framing. Drawings include layout and
specifications of structural steel, reinforced
concrete engineering and design drawings -
including erection drawings, placement
drawings, sections and schedules.
Advanced Mechanical
DRM40T
Dept. of Ed. Code 8425-40S Credit: 1
Prerequisite: DRM30T & DRC20T
In this course students will learn to draw
mechanical drawings to Industry standards.
This will include the design and drawing of
cams, castings and weldments using correct
dimensioning methods and symbols. Students
will calculate gear drives and apply engineering
tolerances and surface finish values. They will
complete a set of working drawings for a
working assembly.
Applied Architectural
DRA40T
Dept. of Ed. Code 8427-40S Credit: 1
Prerequisite: DRR30T
Draftspersons are required to draw today's new
buildings, which incorporate the very latest
technology in building materials. They are
required to specialize in the type of drawing that
uses these materials and show the installation of
the building components on site. In this course
the students will develop skills in drawing these
specialized construction plans and details.
Interior Design
DRI40T
Dept. of Ed. Code 8069-40S Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Sincere Interest, knowledge of
AutoCAD and graphics programs an asset.
Creating practical living and working space is
becoming increasingly important. This course is
designed to provide students with skills and
training in using interior space effectively.
Students will learn to apply functionality,
appearance, and ergonomics to accommodate a
variety of lifestyles and challenges. Students
shall learn:
• how to work with colours to complement
function
• basic ergonomics
• minimum recommended requirements
for specific functions, from home
theatres to workbenches
• how room size affects function
• how paint and wall coverings affect
moods
MATHEMATICS
Which math course should you take?
Pre-Calculus (MPC) is the more difficult of the
math courses. MPC concentrates on the
traditional ‘pencil and paper’ methods of solving
problems, dealing with more of the theory
behind the math. Students can expect a fair
amount of homework. Graduates with MPC40S
are likely to go on to university and study
engineering, medicine, law, etc.
Applied Math (MAM) requires the same attention
to homework as MPC. The math itself is less
theoretical than MPC, with a greater emphasis
on applications. The student can still expect to
be challenged as in MPC. Computers are used
extensively (75% of MAM40S is on the
computer) so the student should have a
computer at home and be comfortable using it.
Students graduating with MAM40S are likely to
go on to university or community college and
take courses such as drafting, business, arts,
etc.
Essential Math (MEM) is designed for the
student that finds math challenging. Basic skills
and real life (math) problems are posed such as
income and deductions, insurance, and
budgeting. General math principles and some
theory are studied, but not in as much detail as
MAM or MPC. Graduates with MEM40S can
gain admittance to university, but some faculties
such as the sciences and engineering will not be
available as options. Please check with those
faculties directly if you are unsure of the
requirements.
Students in grade 9 should be proficient in math
(minimum 70%) before considering the Intro to
Applied and Pre-calculus Math courses
(MAP20S or MTH20S). Students completing
either MAP20S or MTH20S should seek the
recommendation of their teacher in deciding
whether to continue in Pre-calculus or Applied
math in grade 11. Students in MPC may switch
to MAM in succeeding years. Students in MPC
or MAM may switch to MEM in succeeding
years.
