Course Description:
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document their work. Students are able to expand and use their knowledge of this course through the participation in the Barnwell High School VEX Robotics Team and/or the Barnwell High School Technology Student Association (TSA).
On the left monitor, the student is building a windshield for a toy truck while utilizing industry-based software. The monitor on the right provides him with the appropriate specifications for building the windshield to the exact size in order for it to fit within the toy truck.
These three pictures represent 3D Prints that students have completed; the vase (left), a cell phone docking station (below), and a cup (right).
