Semester     

After completing Introduction to C.A.D, students can take the Design and Redesign Your World class. This is an engineering design and building class. In this class, our students will first research products that they want to improve, and or design a new product using C.A.D software. They will model then test their new idea using one or more of the following:

• DraftSight, Google Sketch-Up, 3D software

• Building a model in shop lab (wood, plastic, plaster, cardboard, etc.)

• Use 3D printer to create a scale model (as available)

 In this one semester course students will learn manufacturing basics. Students will become familiar with basic woodshop equipment including the Bandsaw, drill press, miter box, and other common hand and power tools associated with the manufacturing processes. Students will be encouraged to improve hand drawing skills to convey ideas and will introduced to CAD software. Over the course of the semester students will complete a series of simple woodshop related tasks to gain comfort with the equipment, draw and model a tabletop object to be manufactured, and produce a full-scale prototype.

 Building on skills learned in Manufacturing 1, students will be introduced to the industrial woodshop equipment such as Joiner, Planer, table saw, and other higher-level power tools. Projects in Manufacturing 2 will include the use of CNC equipment such as the 3-D printer, co2 Laser, and computer-controlled router. Improved drawing, modeling skills, and interface with digital technologies in conjunction with traditional building techniques will be the focus of student-led projects.

Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course illuminate the opportunities related to understanding manufacturing. At the same time, it teaches students about the manufacturing process, product design, robotics, and automation. Students can earn a virtual manufacturing badge recognized by the National Manufacturing Badge system.

Note: This course is a specialization course in the Engineering  Pathway.

Prerequisite: Student must have completed IED, CIM, CEA or CSP and PoE prior to taking this course. It is acceptable to take PoE and this course at the same time.

The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in Engineering Design and Development as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Students apply the professional skills that they have developed to document a design process to standards, completing Engineering Design and Development ready o take on any post-secondary program or career.
