Engineering Technology 3 serves to be a culmination of all of the topics of study that students have worked with in previous engineering courses. Students will refine their skills with using CAD software while completing a large-scale engineering project throughout the duration of this course. As a team, students will identify a problem and over the course of several weeks, research, design, and implement a solution. Long-term project management skills will be employed as students work collaboratively on their design projects. Students will utilize fundamental engineering formulas and principles to design viable solutions to real-world problems.
