PLTW Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
In this PLTW course, 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 using 3D modeling software and an engineering notebook to document their work. This course is recommended to Honors and high-level CCR students who have taken Algebra 1.
Physical Computing
In Physical Computing, students will design and build functioning electronic circuits using microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno, single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, and embedded-systems programming. Students will learn and apply knowledge of circuit design to identify electronic components and assemble circuits on a breadboard. Students will utilize a variety of programming environments and languages, for example: Arduino, C++, Node.js, and Python to give functionality to their circuits. This course culminates with a student-designed prototype project.
Computer Assisted Design (CAD)
Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CAD) software offering an easy-to-use set of tools for 3D mechanical design, documentation, and product simulation. This course is designed to give students a solid understanding of CAD software features and capabilities from the basics through advanced components. This course focuses on all learning styles through the use of texts, audio/video examples, interactivity, and quizzes. Students will be able to unleash their creativity by designing a Formula 1 race car, 3D printed signs, and various other projects.
