Course title
Introduction to Engineering Design 1-2 (PLTW)Pre-requisite
NoneCourse description
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems. This project-based course concentrates on industrial design/technology and is divided into four units: 1) Design and problem solving 2) assembly design 3) thoughtful product design and 4) making things move. Students learn how to use 3-D modeling software (CAD) and 3D printing to bring their projects to life while documenting their work in an engineering notebook. Part of the Project Lead the Way Engineering pathway curricula, this course will give students the opportunity to use technology to learn about engineering and Industrial Design. This course may be eligible for college credit if the student enrolls at the appropriate college while attending the Westview class and receives a grade of A or B both quarters. This course may be used to meet the UC/CSU “D” requirement to fulfill the recommended third year of science.
