Sheridan students combine design with technical knowhow Design development and creativity have always been essential elements in the progress of industries Recognizing this Tact Sheridan College has plated new emphasis on these factors in its techno logy programs basic concept we re working on said Ralph chairman of the Technology Division la the exploration of new principles This plan hos produced three new twoyear programs In the subject areas of Creative Design Photographic Science and Engineer Drafting We can teach students to be creative but we can teach them to release their own creativity through var ious development processes We want to show students how to step outside the restrictive bounds of traditional Sheridan Technology students step outside restrictive bounds of traditional technologic thinking thinking how to use the established me thods and procedures to clop new techniques and practices Students will study the basic principles and theory design combined with an Introduction to modern scunet and design computations principles of me chanics and properties of materials In addition to these studies technology students will apply their Ideas Inclcctlvcswlth Creative Design programs such as Interior Design Design Glass Design bound Systems Electronics Magic Arts and other fields where innovative thinking is welcomed Students graduating from these programs will meet a growing demand for people who have the tech nical to develop and refine ideas Into prac tical applications people whose experience and train ing include on appreciation of the economic and socio logical aspects of design A design la no good com Italy if it is not socially acceptable economically sound Students will be encouraged to venture into or undeveloped aspects of their specialties to run fnely within the guide lines of the programs In the area of Photographic Sciences for example students will work with the latest equipment from TV studios and transmission units to the ordinary office copier extending the scope and variety of functions that tan be performed with these machines And through thee activities broaden their own abilities and enhance their employment opportunities Also by emphasizing design In Draft ing through the new architectural elective students will have more versatility and a broader scope In ap plying design principles to problems Model Building elective In Creative Society calls for quality control The Canadian way of life increasingly urbane and sophisticated is increasingly dependent on the quality of manufactured goods and the smallest flaw In a fivecent length of wire can wipe Hockey Night In Canada right off the airwaves That these things don happen Is largely due to the quality control specialists In our industries the Quality People Sheridan s Quality Control program Is designed to supply these essential people to industry people who know how to design and plan production control sys tems problems and prevent them This unusual oneyear program begins with ran ge or basic courses including English mathematics industrial psychology and quality control principles to give students the tools of their trade The basic program is supplemented by two Mechanical and Food Processing s of industrial quality In the Mechanical elective students explore the technologies of testing measuring and manufacturing as well as the sciences of mechanics hydraulics and engineering drafting Students in the Food Processing elective learn about rood chemistry microbiology sanitation hand ling packaging and processing technology They also study the laws and specifications that assure duns of consistently reliable food products Throughout the entire program creativity is em sized and students arc encouraged to seek better ways of achieving superlative quality control This is a rapidly expanding profession and offers exciting challenges to Its members If you like to take a closer look at Sheridan Quality Control program contact the Technology Division at the Brampton Cam pus Technology students learn through design contest Sheridan first yiar technology students had an opportunity to demonstrate tlieir ingenuity and put ideas to the test recently in a design contest as part of an orientation course called tor Designed lo challenge the students imagination and to promote interaction within groups the objective of the contest was to design and build a self propelled vehicle to move a coffee cup the furthest distance las the crow flics Only materials from a supplied kit could be used including items such as two sheets of bristol board one box of paperclips a dozen rubber bands a mousetrap scotch tape six pencils one package of pipe cleaners etc Approximately hours were given for designing and building the vehicles after which time they were judged on the basis of distance travelled from a stand ing start using only the items in the kit for propulsion entries included sliding and wheeled surface vehicles sliding vehicles on an inclined plane jet propelled veh icles and air borne vehicles One ingenious entry attempted to propel the foam cup by means of the jet action from a deflating balloon The vehicle travelled less than six inches and dropped to the ground The winner was a functional airplane from bristol board and propelled by rubber- bands lb range was limited only by the size of the room Through exercises such as this Sheridan techno logy students go beyond the traditional approaches to science and engineering Not only did the contest pro vide an excellent learning experience but students be dim totally involved as shown by the level of in the project and the competition between the said Beat Chairman of Technology further information on any of the anas contact Ralph Beats at the Campus of Sheridan College Church St Eost or or Production Projects group of Mechanical Technology students at the imptonCampus have formed a couple of companies to design manufacture and sell products of their choice whole operation is supervised by instructor Hud Vale One group of seven students produced three- dimensional animals out of gauge copper sheeting The moose polar bear black bear walrus and buffalo are now being marketed through gift end handicraft shops at about SIS per animal company of six students designed and built a stand for competition motor bikes thai have no kick stands Made out of square steel tubing adjustable sizes of bikes it serves for easy repair and maintenance The market for these stands appears lobe excellent according to a student research survey These projects allow students a free hand at desiring and creating members Mr Vale Tom and Dave Olive director of the Technology Division act as Board of Directors as advisors only
