Pathway #1
Introduction to Engineering and Architecture Design
Prerequisite: None
This year-long course is open to all students in grades 9-12 and introduces the concepts of technical drawing and engineering communication. Topics covered include: drafting standards, layout skills, pictorial representations, orthographic projections, auxiliary views, and dimensioning techniques. Students in this course will become familiar with manual sketching and drafting techniques commonly used in industry. Students in this course will also be introduced to AutoCAD 2014 Software on the latest state of the art computers to produce engineering and architectural drawings. Skills learned in Drafting 1A-1B are critical to future success in the mechanical engineering, architecture, or design pathways. No prior drafting experience is necessary to succeed in this class. (STEM Academy - 9th Grade Course)
Computer-Aided Drafting 2
Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering and Architecture
This course offers a step-by-step introduction in the use of SolidWorks 3D Parametric Modeling Software. It is designed to provide a fundamental understanding of CAD procedures through hands on micro-computer experience. Students will learn how to design and model three-dimensional solid objects using industry standard software-SolidWorks. SolidWorks is used for prototyping and production, as well as animation and computer generated scenery. Students will engage in individual and group assignments and projects using demonstrations, presentations, and written work. Students will create an e-portfolio to showcase their skills and work.
Enhancement Course
Robotics
Prerequisite: None
An Engineering Technology program that will allow students to study pre-engineering in a unique way that blends the principles of engineering and technology. In addition to classroom activities, experiments and labs, students will investigate through the design and fabrication of robotic and automated systems. Robotic competitions, design challenges and project based activities will be used to assess student’s skills and abilities.
