Design 1
Course #: 6656 | 1.0 Credit FY
Grades 9-12
Engineering Design 1 is recommended for students who have a career interest in engineering, architecture, computer-aided design, interior design, gaming and animation. Engineering Design 1 will begin by exploring the fundamentals of mechanical drafting such as sketching, 2D drawings, 3D drawings, and dimensioning. The students will then progress to work with the latest version of the AutoCAD, Inventor, and Revit software to produce multi-view drawings, isometric drawings, 3D modeling, product designs, 3D renderings and floor plans. Engineering careers will be discussed throughout the course. Use of the laser engraver and 3D printer will be explored.

Principles of Engineering Through Robotics
Course #: 6640 | 0.5 Credit
Grades 9-12
Robotics Engineering is a course based on mechanical engineering and programming. Students begin by learning how to read and write code to program their own mobile VEX robot and using sensors to complete several tasks in the robot arena. The final task will have the student program their autonomous robot to perform a variety of tasks using all of the sensors along with a remote control. There will be discussions on drones, self driving vehicles, Amazon robots, and Boston robotics. Careers in Mechanical Engineering, Robotic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, and Programming will be explored along with universities to attend to study these fields.

Grade 9-12
The Interior Design course is recommended for students that have an interest in interior design or architecture. Using the Revit architectural design software, students will spend the first 45 class periods designing a floor plan and 3D model of a small residential vacation home and a coffee shop. The student will then take their architectural designs to the FCS classroom for the remaining 45 class periods to incorporate color, texture, fabric, style, furnishing, accessories, lighting, and paint in a way that reflects their own style, or the style of the clients. The course will also give the students the practical business and educational information they can use to start their own career.

Transportation Engineering & Design
Course #: 6690 | 0.5 Credit
Grades 9 - 12
The Transportation Engineering and Design course is a hands-on investigation of land and sea transportation systems. The students will design, construct and test both a high-speed Co2 powered and a low speed mouse-trap powered vehicle, and a freight carrying boat hull. The students will research the advantages of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics while creating their designs. As in industry, the engineering design process of sketching, drawing, prototyping and problem-solving will be followed.
