Engineering & Technology Education
Courses
Introduction to
Engineering Drawing & Design
(Prerequisite: None)
This is a yearlong foundation course that
serves as an introduction to the drafting
and design field and is a prerequisite to
all other courses in the Engineering and
Technology Education Program. Emphasis is
placed on manual techniques, fundamentals of
Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD), and various
types of drawings used for Industry.
Survey of
Engineering Drawings
(Prerequisite: Introduction to
Engineering Drawing & Design)
This yearlong course is designed to further
the development of student knowledge and
skills in engineering drawings. Students
learn to illustrate more complex objects
using the Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD)
system and develop skills in a variety of
drawings such as dimensioning, pictorials,
sections, and auxiliary views. Projects
include designing, building, and testing
structural problems such as towers, bridges,
and VEX Robotic systems.
Solid Modeling &
Design
(Prerequisite: Introduction to
Engineering Drawing & Design & Approval from
Mr. Cotton)
This yearlong course is designed to further
the development of student knowledge and
skills in engineering and related mechanical
design drafting areas. This course is
required to complete the Engineering Graphic
and Design Pathway. Emphasis is placed on
3-D working and assembly drawings including
rendering and animation. CAD tools and
software are used extensively throughout the
course.
Architectural
Drawing & Design
(Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering
Drawing & Design)
This is a yearlong course
that introduces students to the basic
terminology, concepts, and principles of
architectural design. It presents some basic
instruction using traditional methods but
places an emphasis on Computer-Aided
Drafting (CAD) techniques. This course is
intended to develop the necessary technical
skills to communicate architectural ideas in
an understandable, efficient, and accurate
manner.
Foundations of
Electronics
(Prerequisite:
Approval of Mr. Cotton)
This yearlong course is designed for
beginning students who are interested in
devices that are used in electricity and
electronics. Individual and class projects
promote critical thinking, problem solving,
and abstract reasoning. A variety of methods
such as class discussions, demonstrations,
and class activities are used to teach the
basic components of electronics, their
characteristics, and their theory of
operation.
