Proposals

1. Implement Project Lead The Way - Starting 2018

(Intro to) Engineering Design 2018 / 19

Principles of Engineering 2018 / 19

Computer Science, Civil Engineering & Aerospace Engineering 2019 / 20

Digital Electronic & Engineering Design & Development 2020 / 21

Sustainability & Computer Integrated Manufacturing ???? / ??

comments: Is this for sure, paid for? Yes, we have a grant that will ensure we can pay for this.

Hands on activities are so important.

Will you be trained this year? I am already trained in IED, POE and DE.

2. Use robotics competitions to engage student and apply engineering skills.

FLL Mentoring - (outreach, education & recruitment)

BEST Robotics Fall Team (Sept-Nov)

Winter Robotics Camp - $200 for 4 days “Sumobots”(fundraiser & education)

FRC Spring Team (Jan - Mar)

Summer Robot Camp - $200 for 4 days “King of the Ridge” (fundraiser & education)

comments: FRC is natural outreach to other area of school. You should invite the neighboring high schools and charter schools to participate.

Can Elementary school level Jr. FLL teams also be supported by DRHS? Most likely. We can look into this as well.

3. Increase the value students gain for their time in engineering program.

CTSO for engineering and computer programming students.

Leadership oppertunities. Volunteer oppertunities.

Engineering T-Shirts, Homecoming Parade, SciFi Movie, Robotic Competition

Promote the program, support students, and provide enrichment activities.

Develop stronger working relationships with colleges and industry.

Field Trips, Guest Speakers, Donations/Sponsorships, Internships

Promote Jeffco and DRHS to offer STEM Graduation Endorsement.

comments: How can we get support from other departments to involve other students?

How can we identify other teachers in the building to get involved and training to teach engineering/robotics/programming.

Schedule summer activities for FRC - presentation, sponsorship, practice demonstrations, present to IEEE.

More Lockheed or Comcast professionals meeting with and showing students what they are doing.

Celina - I liked math and science but didn't know what to do with that.

DU students are working on the Grand Challenge - make solar energy more economical.

fun but a lot of work. get yourself ready. Give you a reason to take it seriously

DU Innovation space - basement (3D printers and other fabrication tools)

DU FIRST Robotics Team - went to Louisiana in April - FIRST World Championship

DU engineering student projects freshman year. catapult, mechatronics. traffic lights, etc.

Many DU students will be available Monday & Thursday afternoons. They could come and visit classes or help after school.

DU guest speakers once a month, DRHS student could attend.

DU New engineering building - tours
