Sequence of Courses
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
Makerspace: Design and Build
This course will introduce students to various ways of turning ideas into physical objects that students can hold. Students will learn to use design software and transfer that knowledge to various industry tools that produce finished products. Students who are interested in pursuing a career in Engineering or like to do hands-on projects are encouraged to enroll.
COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING AND DESIGN (CADD)
In Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) students are introduced to the Engineering Design process and fundamental drafting practices.
Students in this class will learn 2D Mechanical and Architectural drafting. From model creation to documentation.
This class is recommended for all students as the introduction class to either the Engineering Design or the Engineering Technology pathway.
PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING A
In Principles of Engineering A students learn how to successfully turn ideas on paper into physical functional products.
Students use the Engineering Design process to ideate, prototype , and evaluate their results and make necessary adjustments.
Students learn to use many types of prototyping equipment such as Laser cutters, 3D printers, power tools, wood shop equipment and other various tools needed to build finished prototypes.
Students who like to turn ideas into physical objects will enjoy this class. Student who enjoy a prototyping environment should sign up for Principles of Engineering A.
PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING B
In Principles of Engineering B students build on their skills learned in Principles of Engineering A as well as Robotics.
Students in this class build full size projects with an emphasis in Green technology the first term. Some projects have included an electric go-kart as well as a solar powered boat built for competition.
In the second term of the class students have the opportunity to pick their own project utilizing the equipment in the shop to produce their desired project.
