Objectives of Course:

Introduction to Engineering Design curriculum will follow the guidelines of Project Lead the Way, Inc., a National Alliance for Pre-Engineering Program. The course is a foundation course that will teach students to use a problem-solving model to improve existing products and invent new ones. Using Autodesk Inventor—a sophisticated 3-D parametric modeling software—students communicate the details of the products. Emphasis is placed on analyzing potential solutions and communicating ideas through various vehicles of communication. Understanding the terminology for the drafting/engineering industry and expanding fundamental skills in hand sketching (basic drafting) are both integral to this introductory course. Working in teams, you will learn about documenting your solutions, solving problems, and communicating your solutions to other students and members of the professional community of engineering and engineering design.

 

Introduction to Engineering Design TM is intended to serve as a foundation course within the Project Lead The Way® course sequence. All of the topics learned in this course will be used in future courses. Successful completion of this course leads to the next Project Lead the Way course!

Introduction to Engineering DesignTM (IED) is a high school level course that is appropriate for students who are interested in design and engineering. The major focus of the IED course is to expose students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards, and technical documentation. IED gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity-, project-, and problem-based (APPB) learning.

 

Students will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges that increase in difficulty throughout the course. Students will also learn how to document their work, and communicate their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community through their engineer’s notebook and portfolio.

Introduction to Engineering Design™ is one of three foundation courses in the Project Lead The Way® high school pre-engineering program. The course applies and concurrently develops secondary level knowledge and skills in mathematics, science, and technology.
