980 Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) 1 Credit           Grades 9,10,11,12     Full Year   Two mods 

This course teaches problem-solving skills using a design development process.  Models of product solutions are created, analyzed, produced, and communicated using solid modeling computer design software and a 3-D printer.

Note:  This course may be taken with Principles of Engineering with permission.

Prerequisite: Freshmen students: Final grade of A or B in 8th grade math course. Grades 10 thru 12: Final grade of A or B in College Prep Math. 

981 Principles of Engineering (POE) 1 Credit   Grades 10,11,12          Full Year   Two mods                    

Principles of Engineering (POE) exposes students to some of the major concepts they will encounter in a postsecondary engineering course of study. Some of the major engineering disciplines explored in this course are: Mechanical, Electrical, and Materials Engineering, as well as Statics, Fluid Power, Kinematics, Machine Control and more. Students should be enrolled in college preparatory mathematics and science. Students will employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of engineering design problems. Principles of Engineering is the second of two foundation courses in the Project Lead The Way high school engineering program.

 Note: This course can be taken in conjunction with Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) with permission.

982 Digital Electronics          1 Credit   Grades 10,11,12          Full Year    Two mods

Digital Electronics is the study of electronic circuits that are used to process and control digital signals. It is the foundation of all modern electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptop computers, digital cameras, high definition televisions, etc. The major focus of the DE course is to expose students to the process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards, and technical documentation. In addition, students will become familiar with simulation software and hardware such as prototype boards, power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes and soldering irons.  

Prerequisite:  This course is designed for 10th, 11th and 12th grade students (with POE completed or concurrent). IED and Teacher recommendation is required. 

984 Civil Engineering and    1 Credit   Architecture               Full Year   Grades 10,11,12          Two mods

This course provides an overview of the fields of Civil Engineering and Architecture while emphasizing the interrelationship and dependence of both fields on each other.  Students use Autodesk REVIT, a 3D architectural modeling software, to solve real world problems and communicate solutions with hands-on projects and activities. This course covers topics such as:

▪ The roles of Civil Engineers and   Architects

▪ Project planning

▪ Site planning

▪ Building design

▪Project documentation

Prerequisite:  This course is designed for 10th, 11th and 12th grade students (with POE completed or concurrent). IED and Teacher recommendation is required. 

987 Aerospace Engineering (AE) 1 Credit     Grades 10, 11, 12 Full Year   Two mods

The Aerospace Engineering Course explores the evolution of flight, navigation and control, flight fundamentals, aerospace materials, propulsion, space travel, orbital mechanics and robotics. In addition, this course presents alternative applications for aerospace engineering concepts.  Students analyze, design, and build aerospace systems such as gliders, airfoils, and rockets.  

Prerequisite: This course is designed for 10th, 11th and 12th grade students (with POE completed or concurrent). Teacher recommendation is required. 

CS4983  Engineering Design and Development      1 Credit   Full Year   Grades 11, 12

This is an engineering research course in which students work in teams to research, design, and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem.  Students apply principles developed in the four preceding courses and are guided by a community mentor. They must present progress reports, submit a final written report, and defend their solutions to a panel of outside reviewers at the end of the school year.    Prerequisite:  This course is designed for 11th and 12th grade students. POE completion required. 

NOTE:  This course is offered at Canton South High School only.  See your Counselor for registration information.

CS4984 Computer Integrated Manufacturing      1 Credit       Full Year   Grades 11,12

This course applies principles of robotics and automation.  The course builds on computer solid modeling skills developed in Introduction to Engineering Design, and Design and Drawing for Production.  Students use CNC equipment to produce actual models of their three-dimensional designs. Fundamental concepts of robotics used in automated manufacturing and design analysis are included.

Prerequisite:  This course is designed for 11th and 12th grade students. POE completion required.
