These courses will allow students who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of woodworking to gain additional knowledge and experience in an area of particular interest. With the help and supervision of the instructor, students explore in-depth such areas as cabinet making, building construction, wood technology, laminating, and bending or other related areas. Students working on independent study projects must show personal initiative and self-direction in developing goals and carrying out plans. Research, experimentation, project construction and report writing are among appropriate student activities. With the instructor’s approval, planned activities may take place outside of the classroom.
