Core and Optional Modules

Module 21: Pattern Developments (Optional)

Suggested Time: 5-15 hours	Level: Advanced
Prerequisite: Module 1 or 2, 4 and 9

Foundational Objectives

To be able to use and understand the terminology related to drafting.
To understand the representation of three-dimensional objects presented on a two-dimensional plane.
To be able to describe size on a multi-view drawing.
To be able to describe shape in a multi-view drawing.
To become aware of the career opportunities that exist in the field of drafting.

Common Essential Learnings Foundational Objectives

To learn related vocabulary and use it in context. (COM)
To create drawings that demonstrate an understanding of drawing tools and symbols. (TL)
To use numeracy skills to meet the demands of a specific task in drafting. (NUM)

Note: other CELs may be emphasized here.

Learning Objectives Notes
21.1 To list different industries that use surface developments. (COM) A field trip to a local company that makes use of surface developments is recommended.
21.2 To draw developments. (TL, NUM) Students should produce pattern developments for a rectangular prism; a truncated rectangular prism; a truncated cylinder; a cone; a pyramid; a rectangular to round transition piece; and an oblique pyramid. (NUM)

Start with straight line developments for the rectangular prism and truncated rectangular prism.

Then add parallel line development for the cylinders.

Then do radial line development for the pyramids and cones.

Students should draw or plot some of the patterns on cardboard in order to construct the objects.

Module 22: Mapping (Optional)

Suggested Time: 10-20 hours	Level: Advanced
Prerequisite: Module 1 or 2, 4 and 6

Foundational Objectives

To be able to use and understand the terminology related to drafting.
To understand the representation of three-dimensional objects presented on a two-dimensional plane.
To be able to describe size on a multi-view drawing.
To be able to describe shape in a multi-view drawing.
To become aware of the career opportunities that exist in the field of drafting.

Common Essential Learnings Foundational Objectives

To learn technical terms associated with mapping. (COM)
To be able to interpret topographical and cadastral maps. (CCT)

Note: other CELs may be emphasized here.

Learning Objectives Notes
22.1 To become familiar with the symbols used in mapping. (COM) Use examples of topographical and cadastral maps from the local area so students can recognize familiar features.

Discuss terminology such as spot height, contour lines, contour interval, elevation, meridian, township and range, and azimuth. (COM)
22.2 To be able to find a location on a map given the legal description. (CCT)
22.3 To produce a simple topographical map. (TL) Discuss the National Topographic System.

Restrict the features on the topographical map to only contour lines and hydrography. (CCT)
22.4 To produce a simple cadastral map. Restrict the features on the cadastral map to property lines and the associated information.
22.5 To use terminology in context. (COM) Plan a field trip to see the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as it relates to mapping. Discuss other uses of GIS in the areas of mapping such as highways and roads or subdivisions.
