Woodworking tools and equipment
Given the
instructor supplied materials, design and construct a game or puzzle. Nothing, other than glue, may be added. No finish
is to be applied unless it is an integral part of the design, i.e. a checkerboard. An informal two dimensional design sketch in
Cadkey must be provided prior to performing any machining operations. After the prototype is produced, write an analysis
of the time spent in original design formulation, initial construction, re-design, and
final construction. An example of the report format can be found at: Design
Process Worksheet.
This report will contain an analysis of the
amount of waste that is unusable as part of the finished product. It will also cover the intended function/use of
the prototype and will also address the major problems encountered. A complete set of rules and/or directions will be
part of the documentation. Students will make
a formal presentation of their final prototype solution to the class.
1. Apply the problem solving method.
2. Use a CAD system to express a plan on
paper.
3. Produce prototypes of products.
4. Demonstrate the safe use of woodworking
tools and equipment.
5. Employ the principles of design.
6. Generate a technical report.
7. Communicate orally with the language of
technology.
