1 credit, One Semester
This course is divided into three areas that serve as an introduction to architectural design, metallic manufacturing processes and woodworking. Throughout the architecture portion of the course students will be exposed to and employ the design process, technical sketching, measurement and modeling of their designs. An understanding of residential construction techniques is developed during this unit. During the metallic manufacturing and woodworking portions of the course students will study machine and lab safety, common manufacturing processes, development of plans, and become proficient in basic manufacturing procedures all through project based/design learning assessments. During the woods portion of the course students will also learn to operate CNC equipment. This course is the prerequisite for Manufacturing Design and Fabrication 1, Design and Fabrication 1 and Home Renovation.

Upon completion of this course, students will become proficient in the construction of intermediate to advanced level wood joints. The content areas of this course include planning, designing, furniture construction, the properties of various woods and the proper use of hand and power equipment. During the planning and design phases the students will select, design and plan the construction of their individual projects of their own choosing. The furniture construction unit stresses the different types of joints and assembly methods used in furniture making. Proper safety practices are an essential part of this course and are expected at all times. Students will also explore modern woodworking processes and procedures through the use of a CNC router.
Upon completion of this course, students will become proficient in the construction of advanced level wood joints and project design. The skills gained in this course will aide students in obtaining an entry level construction position or prepare them for other post-secondary options in the engineering/design or construction industry and/or internship opportunities. The content areas of this course include planning, designing, furniture construction, the properties of various woods and the proper use of hand and power equipment. Students will be expected to fully develop their own projects from start to finish with limited direction from the instructor. students will also explore modern woodworking processes and procedures along with mass production processes. 3D modeling skills will be built upon from previous courses.
Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12
*One Semester = 1 credit
*Two Semesters = 2 credits
Do you want to be part of an innovative program that teaches students real-world skills in a real world setting? Home Renovation students will learn and apply construction skills and techniques while working on an actual home, in the district, that will be sold upon completion. Students will have the opportunity to work alongside Perry High School teachers and professional community partners such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters and HVAC technicians and many others. Class meets daily off-campus at a home purchased by the school, transportation to and from the home will be available for all students. The required prerequisite for this course is Introduction to Design and Fabrication.
NOTE: Perry High School is currently seeking grant funds. This course may not run based on receipt of grant funds.
EASTERN LAKE COUNTY WELDING HUB AT PERRY HIGH SCHOOL
Lake Erie College is offering the courses you need whether you are seeking welding experience, certification, or a degree at the Eastern Lake County Welding Hub at Perry High School.
Welding is an in-demand career in advance manufacturing that requires knowledge and specific skills to fabricate metals. Welding is used in products such as cars, ships, buildings, bridges, and more. People who go into this manufacturing field learn industry-standard techniques such as stick, MIG, TIG, and flux-cored arc welding as well as oxyfuel cutting, and braze welding. Some may go on to learn additional techniques if they choose to specialize in any number of areas such as motorsports welding.
Those interested in advancing their skills and improving their credentials have an additional option to earn the Associate of Technical Studies degree in Welding and Fabrication Technology for in-demand jobs. Registration is open for grades 7-12. Interested students may need to meet a 2.0 grade point average for CCP (College Credit Plus) requirements.
These courses are available for CCP (College Credit Plus) credit. Students may take these courses for the experience, a certification, or toward an associate degree.
