/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
{ 1 }
Intro to Woods
Prerequisite: None Duration: One Semester
Students enrolled in this course will be exposed to wood materials, measurements, basic hand tools and power machines, bill of materials, and the construction of basic woodworking processes and projects.
The students will gain hands-on expereince in a safe and supervised environment in which they will explore basic techniques and woodworking skills. All projects that the students construct will become the property of the students.
Consumed materials will need to be purchased by the students.
Woods 1, 2 or 3
{ 2 }
Prerequisite: Passing grade in Intro to woods, woods 1 or woods 2 depending on which level enrolled.
Students in these year long classes will have the opportunity to advance their skills in the wood working course programs.
Advanced projects and skills are focused on and the students have the opportunity to design their own projects.

Fundamentals of Construction
Prerequisite: Passing grade in Intro to woods
Duration: 1 Semester
Students enrolled in this course are offered the opportunity to gain exposure to the construction industry. They will learn about site preperation, material and estimation, job site safety, and will construct a shed under the supervision of their instructor.
Students will focus on framing, sheathing, roof construction, and doors and windows. If time allows the students may be exposed to some basic wiring and additional applications.
{ 4 }
Computer Aided Drafting (CADD)
Prerequisite: None Duration: 1 Semester
Students enrolled in this course will be exposed to basic skills and functions of computer aided drafting programs and software. In addition to 2 and 3 dimensional mechanical drawings the students will spend approximately 9 weeks completing architectural plans and elevations.
If time allows, students that are mastering the content may be exposed to the animation capacities of the software.
For this course we will be utilizing Autodesk and Fusion 360!
{ 5 }
Intro to Machining and Metals
Prerequisite: None Duration: 1 Semester
On the other end of the spectrum we also offer metals courses at RFHS. This class is designed similarly to Intro to woods in the fact that it is an exploratoy course into the world of metal machinging and processes. Students will be exposed to metal shaping, material estimation, measurments, and project construction. Students will be using mills, lathes, cnc plasma cutting, and foundry processes.
Just like all other project based classes, students are responsible for any materials used and will be able to take home their projects on completion.
{ 6 }
Metals 1
Prerequisite: Passing Grade in Intro to Metals
Duration: 1 Year
Students in this course will spend an entire year focusing on advanced machining processes. Students will be required to design and create their own projects at some point during the course.
