Students will employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of engineering design problems. The course assumes no
previous knowledge, but students should be concurrently enrolled in college preparatory mathematics and science. In addition,
students use state of the art 3D solid modeling design software to help them in the design and documentation of their solutions.
This class does have a class Fee for take home projects. This course has the potential to allow the student to earn college credit
if all requirements are met.

Students are highly encouraged to join the co-curricular organization TSA (an organization that prepares students for careers in engineering, drafting, and skilled service occupations) to gain authentic experiences through leadership conferences, competition, and networking. Membership fees are required for membership as well as possible fundraising efforts. Assistance is available if fees present a hardship.
