All aspects of a drawing are considered important lines, lettering, measurements and cleanliness. Students work on intermediate drawings or worksheets to introduce new knowledge and skills and to reinforce what they already know. Instructors discuss and grade drawings at students work stations and provide written notes and examples of how students could improve their work. Because employers are concerned about mathematics skills, students use mathematics constantly to solve problems and find answers. As part of VICA, students are required to develop leadership, community service, individual and team activity and oral communication skills.
Students enter contests at the state and national levels.
By designing a mechanism or producing a computer presentation, for example, students can see their work displayed at school, in the community and at state and national competitions. A student s progress in the program is monitored each year and modified as needed to meet changing circumstances. 1103 West Emma Ave. All Rights reserved.
