Basic Electronics 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).

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, and
4) Basic machine languages such as Binary, Assembly, Hexadecimal, and Basic.
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).

Technical Drafting 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) Use pencil and paper to produce sketches and production drawings.
3) Use a Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) system (i.e., TurboCAD, AutoCAD) to produce 2D and 3D 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).

Architectural CAD 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 IS Courses Students that excel or are interested in any of our course offering have the option to continue on at an advance independant Study level where they will continue to grow in their knowledge and skill in the course content as well as make contacts with the community throught internships, job shadows, and/or dual credit options with Arapahoe Community College (ACC). |
Always in Need of Parents In the Field The connection to real world experiences is what drives our Industrial Technologies courses. We want to offer student real world opportunities that can range from a simple one day job shadow to a full semester Intership or any workable option in-between. Our best connection to the community at large is through our parents that work out in the community doing the very things we are teaching our students to excel in. Do you or someone you know work as an Engineer, Automotive Technician, Electrician, Construction Manager, Brick layer, or any other field that is involved with industry service, design, or manufacturing give us a call or email me (Martin Choquette). |
