Engineering 1

Engineering 1 students will understand how to work in design teams and implement the Engineering Design Process on a variety of challenges. By engaging in the design process students will understand how to define problems, develop potential solutions, define and consider criteria and constraints, prototype and test solutions, and improve upon their designs as well as the role of reverse engineering. Throughout the design process students will also develop technical skills such as technical sketching, drawing, and writing, advanced computer modeling (CAD), beginning programming, measurement, and statistical analysis. Career exploration of a variety of engineering disciplines is also a key component of this course.
