This curriculum guide contains nine units that provide the basic curriculum components required to develop lesson plans for the machine shop curriculum. The guide is not intended to be a complete, self-contained curriculum, but instead provides the teacher with a number of informational items related to the learning outcomes and allows the teacher flexibility to design instructional activities, select resources, and deliver instruction most appropriate for the learner and learning environment. The units of instruction contain the following components: learning outcomes; associated tasks; performance standards; lists of tools, equipment, resources, and limiting constraints; performance steps; and enabling objectives. The units cover the following topics: bench work; layout; drill press; power saw; lathe; shaper; milling machine; surface grinder; and special milling processes. (KC)
