Career & Technical Education CORE AND ELECTIVE COURSES - INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY 3D Design and Animation Grades Course Open To: 10-11-12 Credit: 0.5 Prerequisite: None Description: This introductory course helps prepare students for college or technical college in the burgeoning field of design and drafting, specializing in three-dimensional design and animation. A growing field within the motion picture and video industries, there is an increasing demand for individuals in the field of 3D design and animation. The course covers the development of two- and three-dimensional objects to produce rendered still frames (scenes) and, using these objects, produce rendered animations. Some of the areas of study include three-dimensional modeling, rendering, animation, lighting and material considerations, and scene composition. Technology is used in the development of projects in this course. Advanced 3D Design and Animation Grades Course Open To: 10-11-12 Credit: 0.5 Prerequisite: Successful completion of 3D Design and Animation or consent of Division Chair Description: This advanced-level course is intended for students who wish to complete additional course work in the area of 3D design and animation. Students learn advanced modeling techniques, advanced lighting and rendering techniques, character animation and special effects. Students who complete this course are prepared to pursue further study in the field at a post-secondary institution or technical college. Drafting/CAD I Grades Course Open To: 10-11-12 Credit: 0.5 Regional ID: I114/I283 Prerequisite: None Fees: Course fee applies (for materials) Description: This course provides students who plan on pursuing a career in engineering, architecture, interior design, construction, manufacturing or other related fields, with an opportunity to explore the field of drafting. Some of the major units of study include freehand sketching, lettering, multi-view drawing, isometric drawing, geometric construction, dimensioning, sectioning, and an introduction to 3D design using the latest CAD software. The use of CAD software is an integral part of this course. Advanced CAD II Grades Course Open To: 11-12 Credit: 1.0 - Honors credit Regional ID: I270 Prerequisite: Successful completion of Drafting/CAD I or consent of Division Chair Description: This course is a study of advanced CAD concepts relating to mechanical design and residential architectural design principles and techniques. Some of the major units of study include advanced AutoCAD commands, basic parametric modeling, basic house design, room planning, working drawings, rendering, scene creation and camera animations. Students work up to their major project of designing a home and animating a walk-through. This course is ideal for students who are interested in architecture, engineering, construction, interior design or related fields. The use of CAD software is an integral part of this course.

Career & Technical Education Advanced CAD III Grades Course Open To: 12 Credit: 1.0 - Honors credit Regional ID: I274 Prerequisite: Successful completion of Advanced CAD II or consent of Division Chair Description: This advanced-level course allows students to further investigate and develop advanced mechanical and/or architectural CAD concepts. Students complete several advanced projects within the area(s) of mechanical design or residential and/or commercial architectural design. Students may be required to produce a scale model of their designs. Students who successfully complete this course earn 6.0 credits at Joliet Junior College through a dual credit agreement with the school. Exploring Technology Grades Course Open To: 9-10-11-12 Credit: 0.5 Regional ID: I124 Prerequisite: None Description: This course serves as a foundation for a lifetime of interest in and application of technology by introducing students to a wide variety of technology systems in an integrated, experience-based instructional program. The evolution, systems, techniques, utilization and social and cultural significance of technology is emphasized. Students design and implement solutions to real-world problems. A number of technologies are explored, including robotics, laser and fiber optics, aerodynamics, construction, manufacturing, multimedia, power and energy, and transportation, among others. Students utilize skills and knowledge from the areas of mathematics, science, physics, English, and U.S. History to solve real-world problems in technology. The course encourages students to use higher thinking skills, individual and collaborative ingenuity, and a variety of resources in order to perform technological processes. Students gain an understanding of ethical decisions concerning the use and development of technology, focusing on environmental, economic, political and social impacts. Orientation to Industrial Technology Grades Course Open To: 9 Credit: 1.0 Regional ID: I100 Prerequisite: None Description: This exploratory course gives students exposure to a variety of industrial-technical occupations, as well as beginning skill development in areas that are important to many industrial jobs. Included among the areas of study are measurement and calibration, identification, use and safety of portable and industrial tools, decision making in the design and processing of a product, and introductory concepts in production technology, transportation technology, communication technology and energy utilization technology. Students learn basic industrial skills and processes for drafting and design, robotic engineering, basic woodshop production, bridge design, construction and testing, carbon dioxide powered dragster design, fabrication, and finishing and testing. Students develop employability and transition skills and vocational ethics as well. Production Grades Course Open To: 12 Credit: 1.0 Regional ID: I259 Prerequisite: Successful completion of Woods Technology I and II Description: This course emphasizes the production of case goods as an occupation, and concentrates on skill development in advanced machining operations and industrial techniques. Students run an entrepreneurial cabinet shop, which includes the design, drawing, construction, finishing and installation of the goods in the client’s home or office. Record keeping of the business operation is also a part of the course. Some skills that students acquire include performing first piece inspection, verifying dimensions, alignments and clearances, transferring layouts from sample parts of templates, and setting up precision drills. Students develop employability and transition skills and vocational ethics as well. 70 Lemont High School Program of Studies
