Engineering Design and Fabrication (EDF): In this course, students will pursue skills and applications in Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). Students will also utilize a variety of CAD commands, geometric construction, orthographic and isometric projection, conventional practices in drawing, dimensioning, sectioning, auxiliary view systems, pictorial systems, and architectural drawings using the Engineering Design Process. Students will also examine the impact of this area of study on related industries and society. Students will gain and apply relevant safety knowledge, complete and discuss academic and career plans, and apply appropriate academic content knowledge. Students will be eligible, upon successful completion of this course, to take an exit exam and gain college credit through an articulation agreement with Quinsigamond Community College. Students will be assessed using proficiency standards in preparation for the attainment of a Certificate of Proficiency. (COP) This course is a part of the Chapter 74 approved program and incorporates standards from the Engineering Technology Vocational Framework. EDF is a prerequisite for Engineering Design and Manufacturing. As an honors level course, the content will be covered at an accelerated pace. Students will study topics at a deeper level and will be expected to complete more independent coursework and assignments.

Engineering Design and Manufacturing: In this course, students will advance their knowledge of technological systems in a hands-on learning environment. Students will deepen connections among the STEM fields and develop and apply advanced skills and applications in Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). Students will also explore advanced topics in architectural, civil engineering, and CAD software, as well as parametric building design, building information models (BIMs), material take-off, energy-efficient planning, and rendering and presentation. Students will discuss and complete their academic and career plans. This course, which builds upon skills acquired in the EDF course, is a Vocational Chapter 74 based program, incorporating standards from the Engineering Technology Vocational Framework. Students will be assessed using proficiency standards in preparation for the attainment of a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency (COPs). As an honors level course, the content will be covered at an accelerated pace. Students will study topics at a deeper level and will be expected to complete more independent coursework and assignments.

Introduction to Technology and Engineering: In this course, students will gain and apply relevant safety knowledge, complete and discuss academic and career plans, and acquire appropriate academic content knowledge within a project-based environment. Students will use a problem-solving model to improve existing products and invent new ones and will explore the many career pathways offered within the engineering field including software, electrical, construction, communication systems, and robotics. Students will utilize sophisticated three-dimensional modeling software to communicate the details of the products. Students will acquire the skills necessary to analyze potential solutions and communicate ideas to others. Students will be assessed using proficiency standards in preparation for the attainment of a Certificate of Proficiency. (COP) This course is part of a Chapter 74 approved program and incorporates standards from the Engineering Technology Vocational Framework.
