Course Description
Through the utilization of lectures, labs, and group learning experiences this course will introduce
the students to manufacturing processes, management, and organization.
The M.A.P. course concentrates on the basic applications and process that are used in wood,
metal, and plastic. Students will study practical applications where wood, metal, and plastics are
used in today’s society and study the processes of manipulating those materials. Concentrations
include separating, forming, fabricating, and finishing through hands-on labs and activities.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of the MAP course, the students will be able to:
1. Identify processes of manufacturing through the sequenced use of machine tools.
2. Identify how and where different materials may be used in the production of goods.
3. Identify different manufacturing and production tools by the proper name and type.
4. Demonstrate how to safely use machine tools, portable power tools, and hand tools to
properly complete the final product.
5. Explain how different tools may influence the manufacturing process.
6. Demonstrate how to effectively read and apply working shop drawings to the
manufacturing process.
7. Explain how measurements can be converted into complex measurements to describe
the amount of material being used.
8. Apply critical thinking skills to solve problems that may occur with tools or the
production of an assignment, project, or product.
9. Show how to properly utilize math and geometric concepts to create an end product.
10. Demonstrate how to utilize teamwork skills in groups.
Lab Objectives
The 1201 lab is designed to provide students an opportunity to put manufacturing theories taught
in lectures, labs, and group learning experiences into practice. The activities are designed to
enable students to experience manufacturing steps by: reading and manipulating given plans,
demonstrating how to effectively utilize industrial tools, analyzing the manufacturing processes
required to complete the end product, and utilizing organizational management techniques to
produce an end product.
Lab Rules and Policy
Beverages such as pop, milk, juice, and sports drink are prohibited from being in the lab. Then
only beverage that can be brought into the lab is water in a water container. Any food items are
also prohibited from the lab. All classroom rules outlined in the department rules sheet should be
followed.
The NCWHS 1201 lab will be open before and after school for student use. See the instructor to
arrange a time.
General Lab Clean-up Procedures
All students who use the NCWHS 1201 lab have a responsibility for maintaining the lab and
equipment whether using it during regularly scheduled class time or other times. Several general
rules must be followed as a minimum requirement before students leave the lab after completing
work:
1. All tools, materials, and accessories must be returned in clean condition to their
proper storage location.
2. All machines must be properly shut down and cleaned of scrap and dust.
3. All work tables and benches must be cleared and cleaned.
4. All student projects, products, and materials must be placed in designated storage
areas.
5. Floors must be swept.
Safety
Students without safety glasses will not be allowed to participate in lab activities and will not
receive lab participation credit.
All lab activities will be completed with personal and machine safety in mind first. State law
requires that safety glasses are to be worn in the lab anytime activities are in progress. It is
the student’s responsibility to provide OSHA approved safety glasses. The safety glasses
must be marked Z87 ANSI approved to be worn in the lab. Safety glasses are sold by the
NCWHS Technology Department for $4.00. It is strongly recommended that students wear
clothing that is suitable for an industrial working environment. Clothing should be worn at the
student’s own risk. Sandals and any other open toed and non heal covered shoe will not be
permitted to be worn in the lab during the course activities. Long hair must be tied back and all
shirts must be tucked in. All students will take a safety test over the tools that will be utilized in
the lab. Each student is expected to receive a 100% on the safety exam before any work can start .
Lab and Materials Fee
Each student will be charged a $25.00 lab fee that will pay for consumable shop materials such as
glue, screws, nails, dowels, and hinges. This fee does not cover the amount of money needed for
hardwood lumber (oak). Students will be responsible for paying for lumber that they use based
upon the board footage calculations. No projects will leave the production lab until full payment
has been received.
Course Supplies List
1. Tape Measure
2. Safety Glasses (Can be purchased in class for $4.00)
3. NCWHS “Master” combination lock (Must be purchased in the main office for
$5.00)
4. 2 old T-shirts for stain rags
5. Notebook and Folder
6. Pencil everyday. Do not use ink to mark on lumber.
Evaluation
Attendance is the main priority in the MAP course. Everyday each student has the opportunity to
receive 10 points of participation credit. If a student does not participate in the designed course
activities the student will not receive full daily participation credit, 10 points. If a student has an
excused absence they will not receive full participation points and will receive a grade of 7/10, a
C average. If a student has an unexcused absence, is removed from the class that day, or is
suspended, that student will receive a 0/10 points of credit. If a student would like to make-up the
points missed for an excused absence or unexcused absence they can do so in the before and after
school lab hours. The student must complete 50 minutes of lab time to make-up for one day of
class time. Each project the students manufacture will be graded using a point based grading
rubric. Each project will be graded on participation, project management, tool usage,
measurement, and final project appearance according to the project plan.
The grading scale for the MAP course is as follows:
100 – 90%
=
A
89 – 80%
=
B
79 – 70%
=
C
69 – 60%
