Pre-Engineering (725)
1 Credit
Grades 10-12

This course is the second in the Engineering Pathway and is designed to build upon the experiences from the Intro. to Design & Manufacturing Course. This is a prerequisite for the FIRST Robotics Internship. Students will explore the variety of engineering fields and apply the Engineering Design Process as they tackle exciting STEM Design & Problem-Solving Challenges. Along the way students will utilize advanced CNC Machining Techniques in the process of creating functional prototypes. Materials used in this course will be Woods, Metals, Plastics, & Composites (i.e. Fiberglass). Current Experiences include: The Raider Regatta (Cardboard Boat Race), Wind Turbine Design, Load Testing & Materials Analysis (Mailbox Design Project), Pre-Engineering Portfolio.
