Students apply the design process to solve problems and understand the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives. Using 3D modeling software, students create a virtual image of their designs and produce a portfolio to showcase their innovative solutions.
Introduction to Design
Solid Modeling
Design Challenge
Students are given the opportunity to combine mechanisms with input and output devices to automate the mechanisms. Construction and programming skills are layered, and projects and the problem provide students the opportunity to connect their learning throughout the lessons in the unit. Students take on the role of interns, and work in teams to identify design requirements and create prototypes to meet the needs of clients. They also explore different aspects of automation and robotics, and experience how solving real-life problems involves the teamwork of mechanical engineers, software developers, and electrical engineers.
