Westfield High – STEM Design

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

STEM Design is a high school foundation class in Technology and Engineering Education. The course provides balance between basic applied engineering using the newest technologies, and skill building in Computer Aided Design (CAD). Students will be exposed to authentic problems which will assist in the development of personal skills in visualization, design, construction, digital development and problem solving principles. Students will also implement standards and concepts from mathematics and science to Mechanical Motion, Energy, Electronics, and Transportation Systems. STEM Pre-Engineering is the study of various technologies working together as a system. The central theme of STEM Pre-Engineering is the integration of the technological systems of production, energy, communication, transportation, and other related current or emerging technologies. Students work on individual and group activities that are integrated with core subjects and reinforce mathematics, science, and technical writing. Integrated or thematic activities in this course challenge students to use the technological method to solve practical and critical thinking skills problems in a variety of systems or subsystems.
