2 SEMESTERS 2 CREDITS
Grades 10, 11, 12
Recommended Prerequisite: Principles of Engineering
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will introduce students to the fundamental design and development aspects of civil engineering and architectural planning activities. The students will learn to use Architectural CAD software which will allow them to design residential and commercial structures. The students will also learn how to calculate stresses and estimating the cost of structures. Dual Credit through Ivy Tech.
Counts as a Directed Elective or Elective for all diplomas
Qualifies as a quantitative reasoning course
2 semesters 2 CREDITS
Grades 11, 12
Recommended Prerequisite: Principles of Engineering
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a course of study in applied digital logic that encompasses the design and application of electronic circuits and devices found in video games, watches, calculators, digital cameras, and thousands of other devices. Instruction includes the application of engineering and scientific principles as well as the current industry standards. Activities should provide opportunities for students to design, construct, tests, and analyze simple and complex digital circuitry. Software will be used to develop and evaluate the product design. This course engages students in critical thinking and problem-solving skill, time management, and teamwork skills. Dual Credit through Ivy Tech.

2 semesters 2 CREDITS
Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
Recommended Prerequisite: Math final grade C or higher
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is an introductory course which develops student problem solving skills using the design process. Students will document their progress of solutions as they move through manufacturability concepts. They will develop hand sketching techniques to communicate ideas and designs. The use of a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program will be used throughout the course to help the students create solutions to design problems. Two of the design problems the students will create are the puzzle cube and the formula 1 car. Dual Credit through Ivy Tech.
Counts as a Directed Elective or Elective for all diplomas
2 semesters 2 CREDITS
Grades 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Intro. To Engineering Design
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course focuses on the process of applying engineering, technological, scientific and mathematical principles in the design, production, and operation of products, structures, and systems. Classroom activities are organized to allow student to work in teams and use modern technological processes, computers, CAD software, and production systems in developing solutions to engineering problems. Some of the engineering problems the students will encounter are: design and build a vehicle to pull as much weight as possible (tractor pull); design and guide a ballistics device to launch a projectile; design and build electrical circuits; design and build a marble sorter. Dual Credit through Ivy Tech.
