General course information is listed below. Additional information can be found in the SMSD High School Program of Studies.
Computer-Aided Manufacturing / #6703 - Prerequisite – Wood Design and Fabrication
This advanced course builds on knowledge and skills learned in Wood Design and Fabrication. Students will incorporate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) techniques and procedures in their project design and
construction. Safety practices are emphasized. Course costs determined by projects chosen by the student and approved by the instructor. Credit may be applied toward the minimum fine arts graduation requirement.
Design 1 - Computer-Aided Architectural / #6759 - Prerequisite – Introduction to Computer-Aided Design or Introduction to Engineering Design Students study the planning and design of residential and light
commercial buildings. Students use computer-aided design software to create plans and construct architectural details. Course cost determined by projects chosen by student. Credit may be applied toward the minimum fine arts graduation requirement.
Design 2 - Computer-Aided Architectural / #6761 - Prerequisite – Design 1, Computer-Aided Architectural
Students will study advanced planning, research, design, project management, and “green design” skills for residential and light commercial buildings. Students use computer-aided design software to create plans and construct architectural details. Course cost determined by projects chosen by student. Credit may be applied toward the minimum fine arts graduation requirement.
Design - Computer-Aided Industrial / #6757 - Prerequisite – Design 1, Introduction to Computer-Aided Design or Introduction to Engineering Design
Students will use advanced applications in computer-aided design to solve problems in mechanical, architectural, and civil design. Students will use advanced software to construct 3-D models and render using
material textures. Course cost is determined by projects chosen by student. Course may qualify for JCCC advanced standing credit. Credit may be applied toward the minimum fine arts graduation requirement.
Design - Introduction to Computer-Aided / #6755 - Drafting techniques are the foundation for most of the design generated in business and industry today, from manufacturing and architectural design to
fashion design. Students will be introduced to the basic principles of mechanical and computer-aided design. Course cost determined by projects chosen by student. Credit may be applied toward the minimum fine arts graduation requirement.
