Course Description: This is the first in a series of STEM courses for students interested in engineering and is tailored to a student wanting to design, test, and fabricate group and independent projects they have sketched and drawn using computer design software. Materials such as wood, metal, ceramics, paper, and plastic will be used to construct lab based projects using hand and power tools. Hands-on projects may include air, land and water vehicles, structures, furniture, skateboards, robotics, wind turbines, T-shirt graphics design, and web page design, applying creative problem solving and engineering design processes, students will prepare their projects for testing, evaluation and/or competitions. Students may use DDP for a Tech. ED. credit and the Art/Music graduation requirement.
