Introduction to Engineering Design
Grades 9-12
Prerequisites: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in Algebra One
Semester 1-2, One credit per semester
This is an introductory year long course to the Project Lead the Way series. It entails using computer modeling software allowing students to learn the process of product design. Students will solve design problems as they develop, create, and analyze product models. An emphasis in this course is to apply problem-solving skills on a variety or real-world problems. When fully implemented, a student successfully completing this course and passing the end of year exam will receive college credit from the Milwaukee School of Engineering, which in turn may be transferred to other engineering colleges.
Architectural Drawing 1-2
Grades 9-12
Prerequisites: Mechanical Drawing
Semester 1-2, One credit per semester
This course involves the student in the production of a set of architectural house plans which include a floor plan, sectional view, elevations, plot plan, and perspective drawing. The 3D modeling program also allows perspective drawing rendering. Any student who has any idea that he or she might one day go into architecture, engineering, or interior design should be taking this course.
Woodworking 1
Grades 9-12
Prerequisites: None
Semester 1 or 2, One credit
In Woodworking 1, students complete simple woodworking projects beginning with a step stool and jewelry box, and then make a table and one other project of the student's choice. In order to do so, students learn how to safely use various woodworking machines and tools, and demonstrations are given for gluing, routing, finishing, and other woodworking operations. In addition, students learn about project layout, calculation of material costs, and construction step sequencing. Note: Students are required to pay for materials needed to complete their projects.
Woodworking 2 (may be repeated for credit)
Grades 9-12
Prerequisites: Woodworking 1
Semester 1 or 2, One credit
In Woodworking 2, students further develop their woodworking skills by making cabinetry or other woodworking projects of their choice using advanced joinery and inlay work. Note: Students are required to pay for materials needed to complete their projects.
