Foreman High School – Introduction to Engineering Design
Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester
The major focus of the course is learning how to take an idea through a design process that will eventually be manufactured or produced (solving real world problems). As you learn about various aspects of engineering and engineering design, such as how engineers communicate through drawing, you will apply what you learn through various activities, projects, and problems. You will use Inventor, a state of the art 3-D design software package from AutoDesk, to help you design solutions to different design projects. Working in teams, you will learn about documenting your solutions, solving problems, and communicating your solutions to other students and members of the professional community of engineering and engineering design. Introduction to Engineering Design is intended to serve as a foundation course within the Project Lead The Way® (PLTW) course sequence. All of the topics learned in this course will be used in future courses.
Prerequisites: Admission to the Pre-Eng. program begins in 9th grade and with special approval in the 10th grade.
