Engineering Design

Applying science, math, and design to solve real-world problems and improve peoples' lives.

Introduction to Engineering

The main focus of this year-long course is the fundamentals of engineering design, including the process of taking ideas from concept to fabrication or manufacturing. You will learn how engineers communicate, including writing and drawing. You will apply what you learn to hands-on projects and activities. As you learn more about the design process, you will be able to work with your teacher to apply your knowledge to solve problems that are of interest to you.

Principles of Engineering | Concentration

The main focus of this year-long course is the application of engineering design, and continued development of taking ideas from concept to fabrication or manufacturing. You will learn to communicate in the manner of professional engineers, in both writing and drawing. You will apply what you learn to hands-on projects and activities. As you continue to apply the design process, you will be able to work with your teacher to apply your knowledge to solve problems that are of interest to you, culminating in a term project each semester.

Architectural Design

The class will focus on learning the history and art of architectural design in order to have the student produce several homes.  These homes will be produced by hand and with a computer. Many mediums may be used such as pencils, charcoal, pen, watercolor, and computer aided design software.  Complete or partial three-dimensional models will also be built by hand and be created on the computer in order to gain a deeper understanding of volume, space, textures, forms, lines, and various art forms to develop interior and exterior living areas.
