PRESCRIBED
LEARNING OUTCOMES
It is
expected that students will:
- interpret orthographic
and pictorial drawings
- identify residential
framing types
- identify and adhere to
building codes and standards applicable to projects
- produce sketches and
technical drawings
- prepare a bill of materials
and a cutting list
- identify and utilize
employability skills
- describe career and education
opportunities in carpentry, joinery, and other construction-related areas
- describe the impact of
current and future technologies on construction-related occupations
SUGGESTED
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
- Provide students with
a simple plan containing a few errors and/or omissions. Have students work
in groups to analyse it. Engage students in a class discussion based on their
analyses. Have students describe the plan's errors, omissions, or inaccuracies
and the possible ramifications of building a given project, where the working
drawings contain errors or incomplete information.
- Suggest a simple project
(e.g., jewellery box) and have each student produce one or more sketches for
it.
- Encourage students to
create and maintain a photographic record of completed projects (e.g., portfolio,
set of electronic files, scrapbook, photo album).
- Provide students with
the plans for a basic project, and have them produce:
- a bill of materials
- a cutting list of
all component parts
- Present the Conference
Board of Canada's list of Employability Skills 2000+. This is available online
at http://www.conferenceboard.ca/nbec/research.htm
or from the Board at 255 Smyth Road, Ottawa, ON K1H 8M7 Canada, Tel.
(613) 526- 3280, Fax (613) 526- 4857. Ask students to suggest how the
various employability skills might be applicable in a carpentry and joinery
work environment.
- Have students brainstorm
a list of occupations related to carpentry and joinery. Working in pairs,
students select two occupations and research the required training, financial
compensation, and related responsibilities. Challenge students to use a variety
of resources in their research (e.g., the Internet, job-shadowing or work
experience contacts).
- Have students, in groups,
generate a list of five significant historical technological changes and five
projected technological changes in construction-related trades. Conduct a
class discussion on these lists of changes.
SUGGESTED
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
- As part of an assigned
project, have students prepare a bill of materials and a cutting list. Have
them assess their results with those prepared by the instructor in terms of:
- completeness of information
- format of information
- accuracy of information.
- Once students have rendered
a sketch of a displayed object, consider the extent to which they have incorporated:
- correct orthographic
projection
- all required dimensions
- accurate information.
- During the early stages
of work on a group project, discuss with the students the various criteria
that could be used to assess their work (including making effective use of
time, cooperating in groups, using correct terminology). Upon completion of
the project, have them use a simple five-point rating scale to assess their
own project management skills in relation to these criteria.
