TRADES & TECHNOLOGY ED 10 COURSES
Technology Education provides students with skills necessary to explore the realm of technological fields in our society. All trades & technology education courses are highly recommended for students wanting to have hands-on approach in their learning. Students are given the opportunity to design, create and construct using tools, machines and materials. Processes and problem solving will be emphasized at all levels of planning and fabrication. The technical courses also prepare students for the post-secondary vocational field and encourage them to become lifelong learners in a world of changing technology. Students may also pursue several areas in depth by taking the Career Preparation Program in carpentry-joinery, mechanics or drafting. We also offer the high school apprenticeship program in level 1 Carpentry-Joinery.
Drafting 10
Course Code: MTDRF10
This course is designed for students interested in engineering, interior design, industrial design, architecture, carpentry, steel fabrication, and many other professions. The students will explore the elements and techniques used for sketching, designing, modeling and creating mechanical and basic architectural drawings. This course covers the basics of sketching then quickly moves on to 2-D Computer Assisted Drafting and Design (CADD) software. Students will also have access to our 3-D printers, laser cutters and cricuts to bring their designs to life. Students will be given the opportunity to create artistic CADD designs which may then be produced as vinyl decals, T-Shirt heat transfers or machined on our CNC equipment. As a final product, students will create a digital Portfolio highlighting their work that could be useful for future careers and/or Post Secondary applications.
No previous experience necessary. Students may take Drafting each year if they wish.
Drafting 10 STEAM
Course Code: MTDRF10ST
This course is one of the 4 courses included in our STEAM 10 program. Though the course builds on STEAM 9, students are welcome to apply and start the STEAM program in Grade 10. This course is designed for students interested in engineering, technology, interior & industrial design, architecture and many other professions. The students will explore the elements and techniques used for sketching, designing, modeling and creating mechanical and basic architectural drawings. This course covers the basics of sketching then quickly moves on to 2-D Computer Assisted Drafting and Design (CADD) software.

Metalwork 10, 11, 12
Course Code (10): MTMET10
Course Code (11): MTMET11
Course Code (12): MTMET12
This grade course involves general metalworking and the study of various branches of the metal working industry. The course involves theoretical and practical studies in the following areas: design, bench work, shop sketching, oxy-acetylene and mig welding, and machine operations. After completing the basic requirements of the course, students may study or complete projects in any area of metalwork under the guidance of the teacher. Basic supplies are provided, however, the student should expect to pay for project materials.
Technology Exploration 10
Course Code: MTEXP10
Woodworking, Metal Work, Drafting & Design, Electronics and Basic Mechanics are the core areas of Technology Education. This course further builds on the Technology Education 9, but is also open to first time technology education students wanting to gain hands on learning with all aspects of the Terry Fox technology education curriculum. Students will be learning various aspects of design, manufacturing and testing their own projects. This course is highly recommended for anyone with further interest in any technology education program at the grade 11 and 12 level.
Vehicle Ownership & Maintenance 11
Course Code: YMR—1B
This course is designed to provide the future owner/driver with a basic working knowledge of the mechanical functions of the modern automobile. Owning a vehicle is not required to participate the class. The practical work and demonstrations will cover the basic routine maintenance, repair and safety checks required to keep your vehicle in proper running order. NOTE: This is a BASIC COURSE ONLY, it is consumer oriented, covering the operating, maintaining and purchasing of an automobile.
