Design Drafting. COM-LINK. Competency Based Vocational Curricula with Basic Skills and Academic Linkages.
Sharkey, Jeff
This competency-based module uses the Ocean County (New Jersey) Vocational-Technical Schools curriculum-infused model for infusing basic skills instruction into vocational education. The model demonstrates the relationship of vocational skills to communication, mathematics, and science. The document begins with a philosophy statement; preface; a table that explains the number of hours required for academic credit in various programs and the number of those hours that are devoted to basic skills and vocational activities; matrices that show in which courses specific basic skills are taught; a list of objectives; and an explanation of student activities. Most pages in the document are tables that describe the relationship of vocational skills to basic skills within the design drafting program. These pages are organized by instructional unit and the topics within them. For each topic and associated task(s) are listed the theory and basic skills covered. Also listed are the expected student outcomes. The 13 instructional units included are: orientation; technical drawing; engineering working drawings; residential design; residential construction; residential working drawings; rendering; energy-efficient design; commercial construction; commercial working drawings; structural design; mechanical systems; and computer-aided design.
