Level: CP

Open to: Grades 9, 10, 11 & 12

Credit: 4

Prerequisites: Grade level reading, writing, and math skills for college-level coursework.

BHS Graduation Standards: Math & Physical Science credit

Eligible for Dual / Concurrent Enrollment: SMCC AEDD 105 3 Credits

Description: This course will involve the production of 2D and 3D technical drawings that meet industry standards using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, and Revit Architecture CAD software. 3D printing, model building, sketching, and mechanical tool drawing will be covered. As students create drawings in different formats, emphasis will be placed on precision and accuracy, use of symbols, line types, line weights, orthographic projection, multiview placement, text format, dimensions, section views, auxiliary views, isometric views, and plotting accuracy. A variety of design fields will be reviewed with an emphasis on ASME graphics standards. In Project Lead The Way Engineering, students engage in open-ended problem solving, learn and apply the engineering design process, and use the same industry-leading technology and software as are used in the world’s top companies.

Open to: Grades 10, 11 & 12

Credit: 4

Prerequisite: Engineering & Architectural Design I

BHS Graduation Standards: Math, Fine Art & Physical Science credit

Description: Description: For students with a strong desire to enter into an engineering, architectural or design related career. This course is for self-motivated, advanced students who may work with businesses and community members on design projects. Textbook work will cover the use of Solidworks CAD software. 3d printers and an Epilog Laser cutter/engraver are used for projects as needed. Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software. Revit Architecture, Inventor, and Autocad CAD software are also used on an as needed project basis.
