Intro to Manfacturing

In this unit, students will design a powered mechanical vehicle that explores gearing, motion, and chassis design. Students will then focus on planning, CAD modeling, and understanding how engineering decisions affect performance.

In this unit, students will build a functional furniture piece using traditional woodworking techniques and tools. Students will put emphasis on craftsmanship, precision, and construction methods while recreating a historically inspired design.

In this unit, students will design and test a payload-carrying rocket system using CAD and 3D printing technology. Students will focus on aerodynamics, prototyping, testing, and improving designs through engineering analysis.

In this unit, students will learn the basics of electronics by designing, prototyping, and soldering a functional circuit. Students will focus on safe tool use, component identification, and understanding how electrical systems work together.

In this unit, students will fabricate a welded mechanical structure using MIG welding and metalworking techniques. Students will be introduced to welding safety, fabrication processes, and simple mechanical motion systems.
