I will update all homework and project/test dates on our google classroom. If you have a computer (pc) available I would suggest you to install Autodesk Inventor and Fusion360. Chromebook users can use Onshape. All programs are available for free to students.
Course Description:
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is a high school level course that is
appropriate for 9th or 10th grade students who are interested in design and engineering
or another technical career. The major focus of the IED course is to expose students to
a design process, professional communication and collaboration methods, design
ethics, and technical documentation. IED gives students the opportunity to develop
skills in research and analysis, teamwork, technical writing, engineering graphics, and
problem solving through activity-, project-, and problem-based (APPB) learning. Used in
combination with a teaming approach, APPB-learning challenges students to continually
hone their interpersonal skills and creative abilities while applying math, science, and
technology knowledge learned in other courses to solve engineering design problems
and communicate their solutions. IED also allows students to develop strategies to
enable and direct their own learning, an ultimate goal of education.
