Engineering II
Welcome to a class all about the practical application and synthesis of
math, science, technology, arts, and design!
About the Class
Students will create projects in class which follow the Engineering Design Process, or EDP. Students will use a variety of computer programs to research and design ideas, construct prototypes, and then fully construct working final designs in the tool lab. Upon completion of the construction, students will test, reflect and redesign as necessary.
Students will complete projects with a variety of engineering subjects, including:
* Natural forces * Aerospace Design
* CAD design & 3D Printing * Mechanics
* Bio-Engineering * Circuits and Electricity
Class Expectations
1. Be respectful and responsible
2. Set high goals and expectations, try, and take pride in your work
3. Work well with others- cooperation is essential!
4. Understand and abide by the expectations on the back of this sheet
Grades
Typically, work will be completed during class time, though any work not completed in class will become homework. It is imperative that students try hard to manage their time and complete work by the due date to ensure that all projects can be completed. Grades are based on total points, including:
· Participation
· Small projects and work
· Large, overall unit projects
· Class activities
· Quizzes/ Tests
To ensure transparency, all projects and units are outlined as the class moves through them on my website. They will include details, rubrics, and point breakdown for all units.

Students need to understand and abide by the following expectations while in the Tech/Tool Lab.
1. Students must exhibit appropriate behavior, which includes, but is not limited to, following all of the school rules. Students will follow all rules, policies, and expectations of the Student Handbook.
2. There will be zero tolerance of food or drink past the foyer entrance of the tech lab. Students may leave their water bottles on the bookcase at the entrance.
3. Students may not manipulate any equipment (tools and computers) in such a way that may cause damage such as plugging or unplugging equipment cords, turning switches on or off, or mistreating the equipment in any way.
4. Students will not use unauthorized passwords, disclose confidential passwords, or try to enter any unauthorized areas on a computer.
5. Students are expected to show respect of property, themselves, and others.
6. A student will not cause another student to lose work, time, or data.
7. Because students may have a need to share computers and work cooperatively on projects, it is understood and will be monitored that each student will contribute equally to every project or work assignment.
8. While in the Tool Lab, students must wear closed toe shoes (no sandals or flip-flops), as well as safety goggles and gloves.
9. There will be zero tolerance for misbehavior while in the Tool Lab.
10. Students must always use the machinery and tools in the tool lab safely and correctly. These tools include, but are not limited to: scroll saw, coping saw, miter saw, drill press, impact driver, dremels, and hot cutting wands. Any tool used improperly or unsafely will result in being removed from the tool lab with further possible disciplinary action to follow.
I understand that I make decisions that affect my actions. I make choices and am responsible for my own behavior. I also understand that if I do not follow the expectation of the Tool Lab, I may lose some or all of my privileges and possibly face other disciplinary actions.
I have read and understand the above expectations and I agree to follow them.
