Introduction to Engineering Design (Course #9020)Fee: $4.00Transcripted CreditPrerequisite: NoneThis course covers practical experiences of drafting and engineering design concepts. Students willdevelop visual perception and techniques for producing and interpreting technical drawings. Students willuse CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) to create drawings. The course teaches problem‐solving skills using adesign development process. Models and prototypes of final solutions are created.Principles of Engineering (Course #9022)Fee: $10.00Transcripted CreditPrerequisite: highly recommended to complete Introduction to Engineering Design (course #9020) prior.A course that helps students understand the field of engineering and engineering technology. Studentswill explore various technological systems and manufacturing processes to help learn how engineers andtechnicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem‐solving process. The course alsoincludes concerns about social and political consequences of technological change. This hands‐onlaboratory course will convey the concepts, principles, skills, techniques and attitudes needed for a careerin engineering.Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Course #9812)Fee: $10.00This course teaches the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. It builds on the solidmodelingskills developed in the Introduction to Engineering Design course. Students use 3‐D computersoftware to solve design problems. They assess their solutions through mass property analysis (therelationship of design, function and materials), modify their designs, and use prototyping equipment toproduce 3‐D models. Students study robotics applications in the manufacturing process, as well asprogramming robots to perform specific tasks. They apply Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM)processes to generate CNC programs, accurately fabricating parts without human control.Civil Engineering & Architecture (Course #9814)Prerequisite: It is recommended to complete Introduction to Engineering Design (course #9020) prior.This one‐year course provides an overview of the fields of civil engineering and architecture emphasizingthe interrelationship and mutual dependence of both fields. Students use state‐of‐the‐art software tosolve real world problems and apply knowledge to hands‐on projects and activities. By developing andimplementing plans for a playground/park or vacation home, for example, students experience firsthandthe job responsibilities of architects and civil engineers. By the end of the course, students are able to givea complete presentation to the client including three‐dimensional renderings of buildings andimprovements, zoning and ordnance constraints, infrastructure requirements, and other essential projectplans.Aerospace Engineering (Course #9818)Fee: $10.00Prerequisite: It is recommended to complete Introduction to Engineering Design (course #9020) prior.The major focus of Aerospace Engineering is to expose students to the world of aeronautics, flight, andengineering. Students will utilize activity‐based, project‐based, and problem‐based learning throughexploring the world of aerospace engineering. Students will employ engineering and scientific concepts inthe solution of aerospace problems. The course will include experiences from the diverse fields of61
