TDJ2OI

Technological Design is an introductory project-based course exploring industrial design, interior design, architecture and engineering. You will learn drafting and modeling skills through projects such as designing houses and objects as well as creating two dimensional and three dimensional models of your ideas.

TDJ3MI

Technological Design is an intermediate, project-based course exploring industrial design, interior design, architecture and engineering. You will experiment design challenges such as designing houses and objects and create two dimensional and three dimensional models of your ideas.

TDJ4MI

Technological Design is an advanced, project-based course exploring industrial design, interior design, architecture, landscape architecture and engineering that builds on TDJ3MI. You will problem-solve complex real world design challenges through a sustainable lens and develop a design portfolio.

TCJ2OI

In this course you will get an introduction to the scope of woodworking and construction. You will learn how to use hand tools as well as industrial-grade power tools to shape your design ideas into reality. You will learn the basics of planning and drawing, as well as techniques from fine furniture and wood art. On the construction side, you will learn how buildings are framed to efficiently create the houses we live in. All these studies are in the context of where wood comes from, how it behaves, and what the outlook is for ensuring a continued supply of this precious resource. You can also expect to take home some beautiful projects that show off your new skills.

TCJ/TWJ3CI

Grade 11 Residential Construction teaches you how houses are built and how they work. This course looks at building houses from the ground up. Starting with a strong foundation set on firm ground, you will see how a house grows with floors, walls and roof. Once built, you will learn how the structure supports its own weight along with everything that goes into it. You will learn how the house is protected from the forces that try to knock it down: water, erosion, wind and weather. You will learn about systems within the house like electrical wiring, plumbing and heating. You will find out how to make any house more energy efficient. You will learn how to read blueprints, and how to plan good renovations and avoid those that can reduce its value and damage its structure. You will also learn about the many trades that work in this valuable and very active industry. Anyone who plans to own, repair or maintain a house should take this course.

TCJ/TWJ4CI

Grade 12 Construction Technology is the only grade 12 course offered at WCI in this broad subject area. As a senior course, TCJ 4CI allows students to dig deeply into the facets of construction technology that interest them most. Some students have plans to pursue trades like carpentry and cabinet making once they graduate from WCI, and this course allows them to learn more about the areas they plan to focus on. This course can cater to all your interests and needs. The course is in two sections. The first is a general introduction that reaffirms the core skills used by everyone involved in this industry and its related fields: measurement, planning, drawing and hand and machine skills. The second phase of the course is made up of independent study units, designed by you in consultation with the teacher. These units allow you to dive deeply into the parts of construction technology that interest you the most. This is an excellent course for students heading into further technological education and those with an interest in this area.

TTJ2OI

In the grade 10 Transportation Tech  course, we focus on small engine repairs, service and maintenance as well as vehicle service and maintenance. In the small engine unit, students are placed into groups and assigned tasks. This unit consists of classroom discussion, disassembling of a small engine (in a group setting), practical assignments, and a final small engine open notebook test. We focus on some theory at the beginning of the week and then the rest of the week is working on lawnmowers, motorcycles, and some car service.

TTJ3CI

In this course we focus on automotive service. We cover engine diagnosing, engine repairs, brake service, oil changes, and suspension systems. We do about 40% theory and 60% practical. The students work on practical assignments and they have to submit 25 by the end of the course. It is a live program, so students can bring in their cars or their parents’ vehicles. It’s an open course, so no prerequisite is needed. First time auto students are welcomed.

TTJ4CI

In this course, we focus on vehicle suspension, steering, electrical, and powertrain control systems. We do some theory with the focus on developing knowledge, and we create an environment where they can improve their skills. We also focus on vehicle maintenance, brake service and computer diagnosing. This is a course where grade 11 Auto is a prerequisite. Students are also encouraged to work on their own car.

TEJ3MI

Digital Logic and Circuits introduces binary, octal and hex which leads to gates, ICs and components used later in Electronics and Robotics and some basic coding where a traffic light simulation is done. Students also build a PC case up and load an OS in the Hardware & OS unit. In Networks & Cabling, they create cables and learn how pieces connect on a network.

TEJ4MI

Students move into Digital Logic & Circuits, learning more advanced gates like flip-flops and 7 segment LEDs, components used later in Electronics and Robotics. The default unit summative is a vehicle with sensors. The course also includes Professional Practice & Career where the curriculum includes an environment education or recycling project for the whole school. Also, the students dismantle and rebuild a laptop and load an OS in Hardware & OS. In Networks & Cabling, they must simulate or create a basic network.

TMJ2OI

Manufacturing Technology is a project based course that introduces skills using equipment such as lathes, mills, welders, CNC as well as hand tools to fabricate products using a variety of materials such as metals and plastics. Students gain experience necessary for receiving industry-standard certification and training including skills in design, fabrication and problem-solving.
