This course examines a wide variety of assessment targets and analyzes their purpose, techniques, and quality indicators. The focus is on teacher-prepared tests and techniques through methods such as observation; written, oral, and performance tests; peer-and self-reports; portfolio documentation; and direct personal communication used to assess the different learning targets. The course culminates with an analysis of methods of interpreting assessment results and providing feedback and direction that promotes on-going improved instructional decision-making and learning.
The focus of this course is on curriculum design in the area of Industrial Arts and Business Teacher Education. Students will develop a course of study directly related to their subject specialty using a sequential process of formulating, selecting, and organizing course material. This course presents an organized format that potential teachers can apply to future courses to be planned and delivered. Students will study topics that include curriculum and learning models, curriculum contexts, learning outcomes, assessment and evaluation, instructional analysis, and structural frameworks.
This course is an introduction to the processes and procedures used in woodworking at a junior high or middle school industrial arts program. It deals with hand tool processes, machine tool processes, materials, curriculum, instructional methods, and laboratory techniques necessary for day-to-day instruction.
This course exposes students to a complete survey of the construction industry. Students will explore this rapidly growing field through activity-oriented instruction which includes the broad systems of construction, selected concepts in pre-construction, construction, post construction and considerations of future trends. Studies within this area are complemented by student-conducted lab activities and Internet research which emphasize the technical, human, and cultural aspects of construction technology.
This course prepares students for teaching in the public school system. Topics covered are done at an introductory level and include basic electronics and activities based on the use of a CNC wood router. The topics will be covered using lecture and hands-on activities.
This course is designed to introduce students to the planning, preparation, and presentation of course materials and teaching methods utilized in Industrial Arts/Technology Education. Various topics will be examined as an introduction to the background, history, and rationalization of the teaching methods presently used in Industrial Arts/Technology Education. Students will develop basic video recording/playback and data transfer in the micro-teaching section of the course.

This course is designed to introduce students to the design requirements that must be considered in the safe and effective operation of an Industrial Arts/Technology Education facility. Emphasis will be placed on safety, movement of students and materials, locating equipment, and the physical size and shape of the laboratory. Students will also examine the specifications, purchasing, and placement of required equipment tools and supplies. A variety of instructional and organizational systems used in Industrial Arts education will also be explored. Additionally, students will gain experience on the organization, maintenance, and repair of tools and equipment found in an Industrial Arts lab.
This course includes the exploration of programming from a PC and applications of microcontrollers using the BASIC computer language and CNC wood router projects. The CNC project will use three-dimensional modelling software for the design process. Other software may be used for generating the codes for the CNC wood router.
A seminar/lab course focusing on selected current topics in industrial arts and technology education.
Graphic Communications Technology can be described as an area encompassing all of the content of table drafting, printing, art and graphic arts, as well as other communication processes used in business and industry. Traditional practices will be covered if they apply to existing practices in the schools, but the emphasis will be on computerized technology that is used in the public school system. Graphic Communications Technology is concerned with all methods used to convey information in any format and in any quantity from person to person. The course is delivered in a modified competency based format. This first year course will cover communication theory, message analysis, sketching, mechanical drafting, introductory CAD, computer assisted type style modification, screen printing and introduction to darkroom photography.
This applied technology course introduces a complete survey of problem-solving approaches, designs, resources, systems, and impacts of technology in education. Students will explore this rapidly growing field through activity-oriented instruction. Studies within this area are complemented by student-conducted lab activities which emphasize the technical, human, and cultural aspects of technology education. It is the intention of this course to give students entry-level skills for technology education in the public school system.
Activities covered within this course are done in preparation for teaching within the public school system. Using theoretical and practical activities, topics covered include electronics, small engines, and CNC router work (CNC router work involves use of 3D modeling software).
This course deals with processes and procedures used in metalworking at a junior high or middle school industrial arts program. Included are: hand tool processes, machine tool processes, materials, curriculum, instructional methods, and laboratory techniques necessary for day-to-day instruction and operation of a metals classroom.
