Grade 12

Take time today to complete research on post-secondary opportunities in the manufacturing industry (i.e. welding, machining). Try to find information on program name, location, length and cost. Find out what sort of career opportunities exist in the field that your have selected.

Complete a brief write-up with the above information as well as your perspective on the chosen pathway and email it to me at mrdarling@mrdarling.com

Have a good day and see you on Tuesday.

Grade 10:

Hi! Use the computers to research and complete a “shop safety poster” detailing one shop safety rule.

Use whatever computer software package you are comfortable with.

Include images and as much information as necessary. You can print out and hand in OR email these to me when complete – mrdarling@mrdarling.com .

If you have completed this try to find a lathe instructional video on youtube, especially one that deals with feed rates, speeds and RPM.

See you tomorrow!

Grade 12:

Research and respond to the following statement:

“It should be illegal to throw an aluminum can in the garbage”

Provide reasons why this statement is true (or false, but it’s totally true).

A couple paragraphs would be cool.

See you tomorrow.

Grade 11:

A bit of reading for you today.

Precision Measuring: http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/measure_fundmentals/measure_fund_00.html

Lathe/Turning: http://www.mfg.mtu.edu/marc/primers/turning/turn.html

Drilling: http://www.mfg.mtu.edu/marc/primers/drilling/nomen.html

Milling: http://www.mfg.mtu.edu/marc/primers/milling/index.html

After you have finished this reading, you can create a safety poster for a machining tool (i.e. lathe, mill, drill press)

Use online research to select a general safety rule and then assemble using images to create a poster.

When you complete this you can email it to me mrdarling@mrdarling.com or print it out and hand it in.

Grade 10:

The teacher has your QUIA password if you do not know what it is.

Read handout as well as information posted here and then complete the QUIA quiz located here: http://www.quia.com/quiz/5513037.html

If you have any safety quizzes not completed, take the time today to complete them.

We will be making metal stools with CNC routed tops of MDF wood. You will need to find a logo or design to place on the top of your stool – take some time today to find a logo to use with your project. Sports logos and motorsport logos have been popular in the past. Save what you find to your profile. Try to get a large image size. Logos work better than pictures – look for things with clean lines and solid colours.

Grade 11:

Read handout as well as information posted here and then complete the QUIA quiz located here: http://www.quia.com/quiz/5513037.html

If you have completed this and all other Quia quizzes, you can do some online research for upcoming project work including:

Functional CNC – We will do some CNC work using Vcarve, I would like us to talk about using CNC to create functional objects. Here are some examples.  (for example, toys, furniture, coasters, art – we will be using MDF to create these, but they might have some metal accents)

Grade 12:

Read handout as well as information posted here and then complete the QUIA quiz located here: http://www.quia.com/quiz/5513037.html

After that there are a few things I would like you to consider:

Tool storage: Please do some online research to help finalize our new tool rack layout. If you find any interesting concepts, save or print them to share with me on Monday.
