STEM: Engineering Design and Presentation 2 Syllabus Sunnyvale High School, 2018-2019 Instructor Information Instructor Email Office Location & Tutoring Hours Melissa Bennett Melissa.Bennett@sunnyvaleisd.com Room 217—Tuesday and Thursday afterschool until 3:45PM or by appointment General Information Description
Engineering Design and Presentation II is a continuation of knowledge and skills learned in Engineering Design and Presentation I. Students enrolled in this course will demonstrate knowledge and skills of the design process as it applies to engineering fields using multiple software applications and tools necessary to produce and present working drawings, solid model renderings, and prototypes. Students will use a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer advanced academic skills to component designs. Emphasis will be placed on using skills from ideation through prototyping. However, students will be expected to take and utilize designs for the development and production of a final project. Students interested in this course should know that Engineering Design and Presentation is typically the third or fourth course on the STEM pathway and expects students to work seriously toward an industry certification in CAD. This course is designed to introduce students to the vast world of technical design and the possibilities within industry that will utilize these skills. Students who are not interested in pursuing engineering as a career, will find this course is beneficial to many other STEM and non-STEM related fields alike, as it teaches students: how to design with intentions, how to implement problem solving techniques, and how to work with hands on tools and materials for product development and creation. This course will grow student’s ability to think creatively to solve problems and meet the needs and wants of society. Students enrolled in this course will primarily work with SolidWorks Parametric Design Software for CAD, but may use other tools to present working drawings, solid model renderings, and prototypes as well.
