Metals I  Metals consists of one semester of basic metal technology.   Units in Introduction, Metal shop Safety, Metal Design, Precision Measurement, and Careers in Metals are covered.  There will also be an introduction (with hands on work) in welding (arc, gas, wire feed), metal fabrication, machining (drilling, turning, milling, grinding), and forging and heat treating of metals.

Woods I  The first semester will be introduce drafting and Computer Assisted Drafting.  The drafting unit covers the areas of projection, drawing techniques, print reading, and working drawings.  The final three weeks of drafting will be used to plan a project for the second semester.  Semester two is devoted to an introduction to power tools and machines.  The areas covered include safety, basic set-up, and using power tools to construct a project. 

This is a prerequisite for Advanced Woods.
