Engineering Design and Development (AP weight): Grade 12 (or approval) – 1 credit (595)

This is an engineering research course (EDD) in which students work in teams to invent or innovate a working solution to an open-ended “real world” problem. Students will need to apply skills learned throughout their high school career and will utilize tools and equipment such as, CAD, CNC machining, 3D printing, laser cutting/engraving, microcontrollers, and use of traditional fabrication equipment. They are required to work with outside experts and will defend their solutions to a panel of local engineers and professionals at the end of the course.
