Welcome! My name is Mrs. Williams and I'm your instructor for Engineering Design & Development. I'm looking forward to working with you in our first of two advanced courses for engineering. The primary intent of this course is to provide students with the skills necessary to understand and interpret engineering drawings and working sketches. Students will also learn to construct 3D models and engineering drawings using computer-aided design, CAD. The course will culminate with taking a deeper dive into the engineering design process, from design/product concept to prototyping and project construction. I have developed a series of Google Sites to cover a variety of drafting, measurement and computer design topics throughout this course.

As the course progresses, you will have the chance to earn certification in Autodesk Inventor: Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). Everything learned in this course will be applied to 6-8 week “Design Challenge” starting mid-way through the Spring Semester. The Design Challenge will enable you to apply what you have practiced in real time - designing, constructing, and testing a prototype to solve a real world engineering problem.

Each Google Site for this course is designed to highlight a different lesson or topic area with each tab along the top menu bar. You should expect each tab to contain the following:
Each Google Site for this course is designed to highlight a different lesson or topic area with each tab along the top menu bar. You should expect each tab to contain the following:
- A bell ringer and exit ticket is assigned to each tab.
- The bell ringer is meant to get you thinking about the lesson topic and is graded solely based on if you complete it. The exit ticket is graded specific to the information covered in that lesson.
- A lecture with content directed by Mrs. Williams
- A potential lesson mini-activity or follow-up assignment to practice a particular skill covered in the lesson.
Each Full Unit Will Also Contain
Each Full Unit Will Also Contain
- Virtual Engineering Notebook entries
- At least one group activity per unit with a lab write-up
- Additional videos to help with any content information or to help you complete a project
- A study guide to help you prepare for each end-of-Unit test
