Principles of Engineering

Description

A broad-based survey course designed to help students understand the field of engineering and engineering technology and its career possibilities. Students will develop engineering problem solving skills that are involved in post-secondary education programs and engineering careers. They will explore various engineering systems and manufacturing processes. They will also learn how engineers address concerns about the social and political consequences of technological change. The main purpose of this course is to experience through theory and hands-on problem solving activities what engineering is all about and to answer the question, "Is a career in engineering or engineering technology for me?"

Introduction to Engineering Design

Description

An introductory course which develops student problem solving skills, with emphasis placed upon the concept of developing a 3-D model or solid rendering of an object. Students focus on the applications of visualization processes and tools provided by modern, state-of-the-art computer hardware and software, Inventor. This modern computer-based process replaces the traditional hand drawing methods. The course will emphasize the design development process of a product and how a model of that product is produced, analyzed and evaluated, using a Computer Aided Design System. Various design applications will be explored with discussion of possible career opportunities.

Engineering Design and Development

Description

Students will work in teams of two to four to design and construct the solution to an engineering problem, applying the principles developed in the preceding four courses. The problem may be selected from a database of engineering problems, be a recognized national challenge, or be an original engineering problem identified by the team and approved by the teacher. The problems will involve a wide range of engineering applications (e.g. a school robo-mascot, automated solar water heater, remote control hover craft, etc.). Students will maintain a journal as part of a portfolio of their work. Each team will be responsible for delivering progress reports and making final presentations of their project for an outside review panel. The completed portfolio will be invaluable as students apply to college.

Digital Electronics

Description

A course of study in applied digital logic. The course is patterned after the first semester course in Digital Electronics taught in 2 and 4 year colleges. Students will study the application of electronic logic circuits and devices, and apply Boolean Logic to the solution of problems. Such circuits are found in watches, calculators, video games, computers and thousands of other devices. The use of smart circuits is present in virtually all aspects of our lives and its use is increasing rapidly, making Digital Electronics an important course of study for a student exploring a career in engineering/engineering technology. Using Circuit Maker, the industry standard, students will test and analyze simple and complex digital circuitry. Students will design circuits using Circuit Maker, export their designs to a printed circuit autorouting program that generates printed circuit boards, and construct the design using chips and other components.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing

Description

This course builds upon the solid modeling design skills developed in Introduction to Engineering Design. Students will be presented with design problems that require the use of Inventor to develop solutions to the problems. They will evaluate the solutions using mass property analysis (study of the relationship among the design, function, and materials used), make appropriate modifications and use prototyping equipment to produce three-dimensional models of the solutions. Students will be expected to communicate the process and results of their work through oral and written reports.

Civil Engineering and Architecture

Description

The course introduces students to the interdependent fields of civil engineering and architecture. Students will learn about the similarities and differences between architecture and civil engineering, and how both work together in achieving a common goal. The major focus of the course is a student-driven project that involves the development of a property site. Students will learn about various aspects of civil engineering and architecture, and will apply what they learn to the design and development of this property. Students will use state-of-the-art architectural drafting software to develop architectural plans and 3-D renderings of all their designs. In addition, students will be exposed to various aspects of civil engineering including: soil analysis, rainfall runoff, 3D topography, structural heat gain/loss, and structural design analysis. Along the way students will learn the skills of: documenting projects, problem solving, and communicating to gain knowledge and share results.
