Engineering, Manufacturing, & Engineering Technology

Students will learn how to go from exploring various ideas, to sketching and designing, to fabricating! Throughout the semester students will learn to design using engineering design software and create physical models on 3D printers, vinyl printer/cutters, laser engravers/cutters, and other makerspace technology.

Grade Weight: General
Prerequisite: None

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to identify and design solutions to a variety of real problems. They work both individually and in collaborative teams to develop and document design solutions using engineering notebooks and 3D modeling software. Are you ready to design the future?

District 219 is proud to offer the Introduction to Engineering Design / Women in Engineering course. As you will see in the short video below, female students may feel intimidated to take STEM classes because of the heavy male enrollment, therefore we are excited to present this female only option. Students use a problem-solving model to improve existing products and invent new ones. They learn how to apply this model to solve problems in and out of the classroom. Using sophisticated three-dimensional modeling software, students communicate the details of the products. Emphasis is placed on analyzing potential solutions and communicating ideas to others. Students may receive college credit and/or advanced standing for successful completion of this course and a cumulative exam.

Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development. They apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3D architecture design software. Some students have seen these designs come to life through partnerships with local housing organizations.

Course Outline
 

Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course illuminates the opportunities related to understanding manufacturing. At the same time, it teaches students about manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation. Students can earn a virutal manufacturing badge recognized by the National Manufacturing Badge system.
