CAD and Industrial Design Welcome to the “CAD and Industrial Design” course offered here at Luxemburg-Casco High School. This is a hybrid course, which means that part of the course will be completed independently by the student via web access, and part of the course will be completed by the student in the shop/classroom. Should you have any questions or concerns throughout the duration of this course, please feel free to contact me at (920) 466-4848 ext. 447 or by e-mail at hippert76@luxemburg.com. The concept behind this course is to prepare students for life after High School, by challenging them in many different types of manufacturing settings. The student will be asked to think critically in both individual and team exercises. Because CAD and CNC have become so vital to manufacturing and product development, students will use these technologies to create a market worthy product. Finally, students will use the design process to create and maintain a portfolio off all the work they complete. I truly look forward to working with you and sharing in all the cutting age technologies the manufacturing world has to offer. By decided to take this course, you have taking a major step in ensuring financial and educational success after High School. Mr. Norman Hippert Metals Technology Instructor. Course Outline Hybrid Course: CAD and Industrial Design Instructor: Mr. Hippert __ On-line Content __ Developing an Engineering Design Portfolio Using CAD to develop product blueprints 3. A prototype will be created and a slide show of the parts will be uploaded to the wiki for the instructor to observe and offer suggestions.  · 4 Weeks __ Classroom Content __ Use CNC plasma cutter to manufacture parts  · 1 Week Manufacturing  · 3 Weeks ** In completion of the course “CAD and Industrial Design” the student will have demonstrated and learned the following objectives:  ** ** LEARNING OBJECTIVES  ** [] http://www.sph.tulane.edu/Files/Competencies%20vs%20Learning%20Objectives_with%20examples.doc WEB RESOURCES [] [] [] [] [] **  Growth Portfolio Assessment   ** The following items with be required your portfolio. Your portfolio will be checked every Friday for content and quality of content. Remember, a portfolio is a living and breathing document that changes as you grow. Each category is worth 15 total points, with the sub categories worth 5 points each. A discussion question at the bottom of the page will be worth an addition 5 points. Portfolio has shown reflective growth over the past in the following categories: Total ________ CAD development has shown growth in the following categories: Total ________ Progress on CNC technologies: Total ________ Please use the following space to reflect areas you are struggling with in the design process and if you feel that your portfolio is headed on the track you envisioned. (5 points)   Does the student need to be reminded of previously learned materials?   Does the student seem confident in the shop?   Is the student using time and learned material in an efficient manner? ||  ||   || **  Observation Checklist for Student Retention   ** ** Student____________  ** ** Additional Comments:  ** RESOURCES- [] This is a great website as it encompasses everything one would need to know when starting up a website. It offers resources, learning objectives and an online course design to name a few of the great features offered. If I were building an online course this site would be absolutely perfect. APPLICATION- The one thing I constantly think about and would use this resource for would to place all my students safety tests on a website. My students are required to pass all safety tests with a score of 100% to ensure safety. This can become challenging and hard to keep up with as many of the students need to take the test over 2 and even 3 times to reach that score. By building a site that maintains the scores and allows the students to take the tests at anytime, I will have time to work with other students as they progress. PERCEPTIONS
 * 1)  Using tutorials found on the instructor’s website, students will learn and apply the seven steps found in the engineering design process.
 * 4-5 Weeks
 * 1)  Students will be required to demonstrate research skills via the internet to accumulate data required of the portfolio
 * 1 Week
 * 1)  Using tutorials found on the instructor’s website, students will develop the basic skills necessary begin producing their marketable product.
 * 4-5 Weeks
 * 1)  Students will be required to create a blueprint of their product using the CAD systems. They will be able to use a blog or e-mail system to ask questions and ultimately hand in their finished product.
 * 2-3 Weeks
 * 1)  Students will upload the product parts created from the CAD system into the CNC software and program the machine to make the necessary parts
 * 1 Week
 * 1)  Parts will be removed, cleaned up, and prepared for manufacturing
 * 1)  Students will take the parts created on the CNC plasma torch and begin assembling them into a market quality product.
 * 6-8 Weeks
 * 1)  Product will be finished with any painting or clean-up products necessary and set up for final presentation. Any final work on the portfolio or production phase will take place at this time.
 * 1)  Students will be able to identify all parts of the Design Process and why it is instrumental in the manufacturing world.
 * 2)  Students will demonstrate the value of the Design Process through development of products.
 * 3)  Students will be able to perform CAD processes through development of market quality products.
 * 4)  Students will be able to perform CNC processes through development of market quality products.
 * 5)  Students will differentiate between a cost effective vs. non cost effective product and how it will survive in today’s economy.
 * 6)  Students will make conclusions on products based on the economy and production costs.
 * 7)  Students will use real feedback based on interviews to evaluate what changes need to be made to make their product successful.
 * 8)  Students will build a portfolio of their design process to illustrate comprehension of the design process.
 * 9)  Students will do market research to analyze a current need in industry, and based on that research develop a quality product.
 * 10)  Students will investigate what different organizations are currently doing to become successful by reaching out to local companies and talking with them.
