Course: Materials and Processes Technology (13052-36) > Section: Working with Metals

Application should include

- identifying a problem to solve or product to design that involves the primary use of wood material
- selecting wood materials, based on their properties, to construct the product solution
- generating ideas for solution or product design
- submitting tentative solutions or designs for approval
- sketching the solution or product
- constructing a mockup or prototype for final approval
- engineering plans, using drawings, charts, and material lists
- determining the best method of production
- determining economic feasibility
- producing a finished product or solution
- testing and evaluating the finished product.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does a prototype relate to the finished product?
- What are procedures for the fabrication of a wood product?
- What are some ways that wood can be repurposed?
