Engineering Design & Development

This is the final Project-Lead-the-Way course which is designed to introduce students to the fundamental aspects of engineering and engineering technology. Instruction will emphasize underlying principles of engineering processes and the development of three-dimensional solid models. Instructional activities will build skills ranging from sketching simple geometric shapes to applying a solid modeling computer software package. Students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through instructional activities that pose design and application challenges for which they develop solutions. The techniques learned, and equipment used, should be state of the art and reflect equipment and processes currently being used by engineers throughout the United States.
