Engineering Design In this first year introductory course, students develop primary skills in the area of Engineered drafting and design. The curriculum provides students with a practical and theoretical perspective of the visualization techniques used by contemporary and historical product designers and engineers. This includes freehand sketching, technical sketching, digital rendering, information and perspective graphics, and presentation skills. Students learn how to model and design three-dimensional objects based on 2D drawings using engineering modeling software. Students develop and apply knowledge of elements, principles, and concepts of art, science, design, and aesthetics. Students learn about postsecondary requirements for careers related to Engineering and Computer-Aided Design. Students are required to work both in teams and individually to solve mechanical issues, create drawings of ideas, and produce their own product an personal brand. Class activities involve research, history, presentation, sketching, dimensioning, notations, sectional plans, 3D printing and other phases of Engineering design and development.

Advanced Engineering Design This second year course brings career technical education into a 21st century setting that synthesizes engineering and design concepts to produce real-world products. Students learn and utilize engineering and prototyping skills along with 3D modeling to conceptualize and create solutions to problems. Students also engage in collaborative development as they work in teams to solve real-world problems through innovation. Throughout the course, students are presented with design problems that test their application of engineering design principals, materials, stress, and tensile strength; as well as best design practices as they work through the Engineering Design Process with a team of fellow students. In collaboration with their teams, students produce rapid prototypes as they work through various iterations of their final product. This course prepares students to sit for the Autodesk Inventor User Certification Examination. This certification demonstrates that the bearer has gathered the requisite inventor modeling skills to enter the workforce in an entry-level design position. 5121 (Hillcrest)
Computer Aided Engineering Design and Prototyping 3 In this concentration course, students will work as part of a race team to develop an energyefficient urban vehicle. Students will work cooperatively with industry partners, as well as mentor engineers. Students will identify an issue or problem and use the engineering design process, research, design, build, test, and present their solution to a team of peers, faculty, and mentor engineers to develop a portfolio of their work. Students will analyze data acquired and create a formal review and recommendations document that will be made available to the following year's students.
