Design & Drawing for Production (DDP) is a year-long introductory course in the Project Lead The Way Engineering Program. In DDP, students explore engineering tools and apply a common approach to the solution of engineering problems, and the engineering design process. It is a college level course and students that perform well in the course can earn 3 credits from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Through both individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and problems, students apply systems thinking and consider various aspects of engineering design including material selection, human-centered design, manufacturability, assemblability and sustainability. Students develop skills in technical representation and documentation especially through 3D computer modeling using a Computer Aided Design (CAD) application. As part of the design process, students produce precise 3D-printed engineering prototypes using an additive manufacturing process. Student-developed testing protocols, drive decision-making and iterative design improvements.
