This course is a fun, high intensity class that applies the principles
of design, engineering, and manufacturing.
The class includes many hands-on real life projects. Students will gain an understanding of
systems, resources, problem solving, 3D modeling, prototype fabrication,
reverse engineering, and product development.
Design and Engineering also provides many unique project opportunities.
Design challenges include structure competitions, Rube Goldberg devices, and
mouse trap contraptions. Students also take part in an Electrathon competition.
Electrathon includes the design and fabrication of a full scale electric
vehicle. Students construct the vehicle and compete against other high school
engineer teams from around the state. It is recommended that students have
completed drafting or metal fabrication prior to enrolling in this course. This
class is for enthusiastic students who want to design and build complex
projects in a real world setting, especially those interested in careers
related to design, engineering, or manufacturing.
