Description
 

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED-PLTW) 

Grades: 10-12  

Length: One Year

Prerequisite: Engineering Tech                  
Foundations Course, Pathway to Engineering

Trade Tech High's Green Build Tech Academy

Ever wondered how to design something new or draw out an idea to show your friends? Stop wondering and do it using Autodesk Inventor, a state-of-the-art 3D design software! Discover the role of an engineer in taking an idea from the design process to working product, then from testing to manufacturing and production. Produce an incredible working prototype of your project with a 3D printer. You will work on projects, activities, and problems not only of interest to you, but that may have global and human impacts. Work in teams to design and improve products, document your solutions, and communicate your ideas giving professional presentations.

Curriculum Topics

The topics below are among the essential skills for this program. This is not a comprehensive list of all available skills and goals, but given to show the scope of the curriculum. If you find you are not familiar with the meaning of the course topics, don't worry that's the language of engineering! You will master it one step at a time. Changes may occur year to year based on industry input, change in focus, or other factors. Please contact the program instructor or administration for additional information. 

Introduction to Engineering Design is intended to serve as the first course within TTH’s Project Lead The Way Pathway to Engineering course sequence. Topics covered in this course will be used in future courses.

What will my classes be like?

     The Role of the Engineer
     The Design Process
     Technical Sketching and Drawing
     Measurement and Statistics
     Geometric Shapes and Solids
     Dimensions and Tolerances
     3D Modeling Skills
     Reverse Engineering
     Structural Analysis
     Product Improvement
     Design Teams
 
Students who have successfully completed the foundation course Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) at TTH can easily transition into the specialized course CEA (Civil Engineering and Architecture). For maximum recognition or credit from articulated colleges and universities it is required to get a B or better in both semesters.

Multi-view Sketch PPT

Due:

Assignment

A multi-view drawing is one that shows two or more two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional object.

Multi-view drawings provide the shape description of an object. When combined with dimensions, multi-view drawings serve as the main form of communication between designers and manufacturers.
