Students use computer software to produce, analyze and evaluate models of project solutions. They study the design concepts of form and function, and then use state of the art technology to translate conceptual design into reproducible products. The students learn through hands-on activities, industry speakers, field trips, and video conferencing. Students have the opportunity to survey engineering fields and discuss career opportunities. back to top Principles of Engineering (Adv. Acad.) 1 credit (state) GPA Level 1 Grade Level(s): 10-12 Prerequisites: Algebra I required; Introduction to Engineering Design recommended Notes: $20.00 fee This course helps students understand the exciting fields in engineering and engineering technology. Exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes help students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem solving process to benefit people. The course also includes the social and political consequences of technological change. Heavy emphasis will be placed on developing the necessary skills that engineers need to become successful. back to top Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Adv. Acad.) 1 credit (state) GPA Level 1 Grade Level(s): 11-12 Prerequisite(s): Introduction to Engineering Design required. Principles of Engineering and Digital Electronics recommended. Notes: $20.00 fee Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is intended to serve as a specialization course within the Project Lead the Way sequence. This course will expose students to the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. The course is built around several key concepts: computer modeling using a three dimensional, solid modeling software package with mass property analysis; CNC equipment-understanding the machine tools and its operating and programming aspects; CAM software-converting computer generated geometry onto a program to drive CNC machine tools; Robotics-using a robot for materials handling and assembly operations; and Flexible manufacturing systems-students working in teams to design manufacturing work cells and table top factory simulations. back to top Engineering Design and Development (Adv. Acad.) 1 credit (state) GPA Level 1 Grade Level(s): 11-12 Prerequisites: Introduction to Engineering Design and at least one other Project Lead the Way course required. Notes: $20.00 fee The Engineering Design and Development (EDD) course involves an intensive student driven project which includes a student portfolio prepared for view by college recruiters and industry professionals. The EDD course is based on previous Engineering course objectives. These courses include Intro to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Aerospace Engineering, and Engineering and Architecture. The EDD student will use previously attained engineering skills and knowledge for this project based class. back to top
