General Technology

               This course is designed to introduce students to different areas of engineering and general technology. Learn to draw technically, design and print using a 3D printer, construct an architectural model of a house, produce an original graphic design cut from vinyl, laser cut rocket parts, create a one of a kind prototype and make it come to life in the lab! Areas of instruction include: Design & Engineering, Graphic Design, Material Processing, Robotics & Transportation. Come and join the Applied Engineering & Technology Education staff in discovering your passion in STEM.    

              In this engineering course, students will brainstorm and design new consumer products. Over the course of the semester, students will come up with innovative solutions to problems by creating prototypes. Think of this as “Shark Tank” in a technology lab.  You will fully develop a product and lead a team to manufacture and market your product. Students will be working in a team environment to research user needs and human factors that affect the use of the product. In addition, the team will need to consider manufacturing requirements and limitations, aesthetics, and market demands during the design process. Throughout this experience, students will complete a portfolio of their work.
