Introduction to Engineering Design is an in-depth, project-based course that concentrates on Industrial Design/Technology and is divided into four units: Introduction to Design, Design Solutions, Reverse Engineering, and Design Problems. Students will cover the basics of sketching, engineering/physics application, and how to use a computer aided drafting program. They will design and build several functional prototypes, such as a puzzle and a project of their very own. Part of the Project Lead the Way Engineering pathway curricula, this course will give students the opportunity to use technology to learn about Engineering and Industrial Design. Introduction to Engineering Design meets CJUSD and UC/CSU ‘g’ College Prep Elective Credit.
