In this course, students will apply foundational engineering and industrial design concepts learned in the introductory course through creating actual solutions to real world, hands-on design challenges. Using the Engineering Design process, students will investigate, research, design, test, develop, evaluate and communicate creative solutions for contemporary problems. Additionally, they will learn how to safely utilize tools and machines in the fabrication lab to transform their designs into actual models and working prototypes that can be tested and evaluated.

Students will study the basic architectural drawing techniques of building design. Students will examine and execute plans for basic construction and service systems. Three-dimensional modeling will allow students to assess the validity and appropriateness of their designs.

Students will study the basic concepts of product and package design. Students will learn how to identify and clarify a problem, make an in-depth response and then create and test their solutions. Human-factors, engineering and production techniques are integral to this course.

Engineering and Industrial Design (Level 2), Architectural Design, or Product Design This course will include a large, yearlong project that will tie together the concepts learned in previous engineering courses. Students will develop a personal portfolio documenting their work. The course will also include work with a professional on researching or developing a solution for a real-world engineering problem. The course will develop students’ engineering, computer programming and presentation skills.

This course prepares students to successfully manage the transitions from adolescence to adulthood. Students will explore topics related to social emotional, financial and physical wellness as well as career development. The goal of this course is to provide students with skills and knowledge to help them design the future they desire.

In this introduction course, students will learn about engineering and industrial design concepts and how they are used to solve real world design problems. Students will learn how to communicate their designs by learning to master industry standard 2D/3D virtual modeling software. By utilizing the Engineering Design Process, students will synthesize unique design iterations, document their work through an engineer’s notebook, and effectively communicate solutions to peers and members of the professional community.

Foods and Fitness involves the study of making sound, healthy life-style choices when selecting a restaurant, grocery shopping and preparing foods at home. Students will examine current research regarding a healthy, active life-style. Nutrition, healthy preparation of food, diets, dietary issues, and convenience foods will be emphasized. This lab-based learning course will include preparing and consuming food.

Global Gourmet explores food, health, and cultures of other countries. Topics include the ingredients, diets, nutritional contributions, preparation techniques, and life-styles across the globe. World food issues related to safety, technology, and consumer choices will also be examined. This lab-based learning course will include preparing and consuming food.

Interior Design and Housing emphasizes designing a home and the decisions involved in renting and buying a house. The principles and elements of design will be applied through projects and activities. Topics include the use of color, furniture styles and arrangements, background materials, and the use of accessories. Historic housing, architectural styles, and construction concerns will also be examined.

In this course, students will analyze interests, aptitudes and skills to prepare for careers and transition through life. An emphasis will be placed on work ethics, team building, communication and leadership skills. Additional topics will include technology etiquette and career planning.
