Prerequisite(s):            Completion of Principles of Engineering or Open to         11, 12

                            Computer Aided Design                           Grades:

Description: Students learn about various aspects of civil engineering and architecture and apply their knowledge to the

design and development of residential and commercial properties and structures. In addition, students use 3D design

software to design and document solutions for major course projects. Students communicate and present solutions to their

peers and members of a professional community of engineers and architects. This course is designed for 11th or 12th grade

students.

Course Title:               Project Lead the Way: Computer                  Credit Value: 1.0

                            Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

Course Number:              108820                                          Term(s)    Full Year

Prerequisite(s):            Completion of Principles of Engineering or Open to         11, 12

                            Robotics Engineering                            Grades:

Description: Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the study of manufacturing planning, integration, and

implementation of automation. This course explores manufacturing history, individual processes, systems, and careers. In

addition to technical concepts, the course incorporates finance, ethics, and engineering design. This reflects an integrated

approach that leading manufacturers have adopted to improve safety, quality, and efficiency. Students will analyze, design,

and build manufacturing systems. While implementing these designs, students will continually hone their interpersonal

skills, creative abilities, and understanding of the design process. Students apply knowledge gained throughout the course

in a final open-ended problem to build a manufacturing system.

Capstone Course (1)

Course Title:               Project Lead the Way: Honors Engineering Design Credit Value: 1.0

                            & Development (EDD)

Course Number:              108826                                          Term(s)    Full Year

                                                                            Offered:

Prerequisite(s):            Completion of the following courses with a 70% or Open to  11, 12

                            higher; PLTW IED, POE, and CIM OR CAD, Grades:

                            Robotics, and Advanced Robotics.

Description: Utilizing the activity-project-problem-based (APPB) teaching and learning model, students will perform

research to choose, validate, and justify a technical problem. After carefully defining the problem, teams of students will

design, build, and test their solution. Finally, student teams will present and defend their original solution to an outside

panel. While progressing through the engineering design process, students will work closely with experts and will

continually hone their organizational, communication and interpersonal skills, their creative and problem-solving abilities,

and their understanding of the design process.
