This course is designed for those students that want to learn about Electricity and Electronics. At the completion of this course the student should know how to:
1) Safely approach electrical circuitry.
2) Identify basic electrical components, circuits, integrated circuits and their functions .
3) Use a protoboard to assemble circuits that can produce sound, light, motion, and heat.
4) Use meters to measure voltage, resistance, and current.
5) Produce and assemble circuit board technology.
Whether the students are college bound or vocationally focused, this course will give them a firm grasp of electronics and will help them to succeed in further course work. (This course can be enhanced by taking another semester of Computer Electronics).
This course is designed for students who want to study electronics as it is applied to computer technology. At the completion of this class the student should know:
1) The history of computers
2) The basic internal and peripheral components of a computer
3) How a computer microprocessors functions, and the assembly thereof
4) Basic machine languages such as Binary, Assembly, Hexadecimal, and Basic.
5) CPLD technology using Xlinx simulation software and a XC95108 chip trainer
6) Basicstamp programing using Parallax BEO Bot robots
Each student will examine and build circuitry consisting of solid state, and integrated components that will use Gate Technology to produce self-actuating microprocessors. This course is a must for students pursuing Engineering, Technology, or Computer Science as a college major. (This course can be enhanced by taking a computer repair Independent study course, attending TH Pickens center, or Arapahoe Community College for Vocational Classes).
This course is designed for students who are interested in Computer Science as a College Major or Computer Repair as a Career. Each student must be a self-starter and know how to research and study independently. At the end of this course the student should know:
1) Complete Hardware identification for PC computers
2) Hardware and software techniques for problem solving basic consumer difficulties
3) Operating System configurations of PC (now including Win 95 Win 2000 Win XP)
4) Preparation study for A+ computer repair certification examination.
The student will have studied enough content to give him/her a dramatic lead on the preparation to take an examination given by official institutions such as the “Sylvan Learning Center” that will give them ASE computer repair certification.
This course is designed to teach students the Industry Standard of graphic communication. At the completion of this course the students will know how to:
1) Draw, dimension, and design objects for the purpose of production.
2) Sem 1 Use pencil and paper to produce sketch and production drawings.
3) Sem 2 Use a Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) system AutoCAD200i) to produce 2D production drawings.
This course is certified by the Colorado Community College and Occupational Education System (CCCOES) as a “Career and Technology” course (fka Vocational Studies). Technical Drafting is a must for any student pursuing an Engineering Degree or Construction Management Program in the College or University. (This content may be enhanced by taking a second year of Architectural Drafting or Drafting Applications).
This course is designed to teach students what is involved in a complete Industry Standard set of Architectural Design plans. The first quarter is learning the standards and 2 quarter is set-aside for the Design and Drawing of a Single family residential home. Drawings will be produced by both pencil and paper technique and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software.
At the completion of this course the student should know:
1) Classic architecture styles and good design concepts
2) How to generate 2D and 3D computer drawings that will meet industry standards.
3) Examine reference materials to access information to design residential structure that would meet Universal Building Code (UBC).
This course is dedicated to the specific area of Architecture, however the curriculum delve sdeeper into CAD techniques and capabilities. This course in conjunction with Advanced Design CAD is certified by the Colorado Community College and Occupational Education System (CCCOES) as a “Career and Technology” (fka Vocational Studies) course level 2.
Advanced Design CAD is a course designed to meet the need of the student by catering the coursework to match his/her focus in College for any Engineering or Technology degree. Course work is available for Electrical, Civil, Architectural, and Mechanical Drafting. This course will include both board drawing and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) to prepare student to enter University Engineering Programs.
At the end of this course the student should Know:
1) Complex concepts of design in a specified area of focus
2) How to generate complex 2D and 3D computer drawings that will meet industry standards.
3) Examine reference materials to access information to design product that will meet given specifications.
This course is designed to provide students the opportunity to explore fully the process of designing, developing, and drawing plans that can be used to manufacture a specified product. The curriculum delves deeper into CAD techniques and capabilities. . This course in conjunction with Architectural Drafting is certified by the Colorado Community College and Occupational Education System (CCCOES) as a “Career and Technology” (fka Vocational Studies) course level 2.
