These elective courses strive to guide those students who plan an industrial vocation. There are six fields of industrial education at Edsel Ford. They in- clude drafting, electricity, metal shop, auto shop, printing, and woodwork. As a student progresses in sequence in the area he has chosen, he gains a fuller under- standing of the demands of that field. In all areas the students may become more familiar with the common tools, procedures, and skills required in their vocational or avocational plans.

The purpose of the mathematics department at Edsel Ford High School is to provide training in both of these areas.
