Students work both individually and as a team to develop and document design solutions using engineering notebooks.

​Course Highlights:
  • Latest 3D Computer Aided Drafting Programs using high powered dual-monitor computer systems
  • Virtual CNC set-up and programming of the ProMill 8000 Milling Machine
  • Numerous hands-on, self-paced projects and assignments that are connected with “Real-World” experiences.
  • VEX – Robotics
  • AMATROL eLEARNING Technical Training Courses

​Course Outcomes:
  • SolidWorks (CSWA-Certified SolidWorks Associate)

Enduring Understandings: 
  • Introduce students to the world of engineering, including opportunities for students to explore various career opportunities. 
  • Define and understand the Engineering Design Process and apply the process to various projects that utilize computerized machinery. 
  • Promote interdisciplinary and cooperative learning along with generic teamwork skills

​Essential Questions: 
  • How does the engineering design process relate to problem solving and critical thinking? 
  • What role does creativity have in engineering design?
