INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN Grade Level 9 – 12 NOTE: The content of this course is very similar to two previously offered courses: Tech Systems and Manufacturing. Consequently, students with credit for either Tech Systems or Manufacturing should not enroll in Introduction to Engineering Design. Introduction to Engineering Design is an introductory course which develops student problem solving skills using the design process. Students document their progress of solutions as they move through the design process. Students develop solutions using elements of design and manufacturability concepts. They develop hand sketches using 2D and 3D drawing techniques. Computer Aided Design (CAD). This course is being offered for the first time in the 2013-14 school year. Beginning in the fall of 2014, this course will become the prerequisite for the Principles in Engineering course. PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING Grade Level 10 - 12 Principles of Engineering is a course that focuses on the process of applying engineering, technological, scientific and mathematical principles in the design, production, and operation of products, structures, and systems. This is a hands-on course designed to provide students interested in engineering careers to explore experiences related to specialized fields such as civil, mechanical, and materials engineering. Students will engage in research, development, planning, design, production, and project management to simulate a career in engineering. The topics of ethics and the impacts of engineering decisions are also addressed. Classroom activities are organized to allow students to work in teams and use modern technological processes, computers, CAD software, and production systems in developing and presenting solutions to engineering problems. Prerequisite for 2013-14: Students must have completed two semesters of coursework in the Industrial Technology Department prior to enrolling in this course. Starting with the 2014-15 school year: The prerequisite will be completion of the Introduction to Engineering Design course (which is being taught for the first time during the 2013-14 school year). DUAL CREDIT INTRODUCTION TO ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS Grade Level 9 – 12 Introduction to Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics is a course that specializes in how people use modern manufacturing systems with an introduction to advanced manufacturing and logistics and their relationship to society, individuals, and the environment. Students apply the skills and knowledge of using modern manufacturing processes to obtain resources and change them into industrial materials, industrial products and consumer products. Students investigate the properties of engineered materials such as: metallics; polymers; ceramics; and composites. Students study six major types of material processes: casting and molding; forming; separating; conditioning; finishing; and assembling. After gaining a working knowledge of these materials, Students are introduce to advanced manufacturing, logistics, and business principles that are utilized in today’s advanced manufacturing industry. Students gain a basic understanding of tooling, electrical skills, operation skills, inventory principles, MSDS’s, chart and graph reading and MSSC concepts. There is also an emphasis placed on the flow process principles, material movement, safety, and related business operations. Students have the opportunity to develop the characteristics employers seek as well as skills that will help them in future endeavors. NOTE: This course offers students an opportunity to earn a total of 6 college credits (MPRO 100: Plant Floor and MPRO 106: Safety) through IVY TECH Community College. Students are also able to complete requirements for three different industry certifications: Logistics, Operations and Certified Logistics Associate. 14
