• Design & Modeling: Grade 6

    Instructor: Michaud, C.

      

    Pre-Engineering: Design & Modeling
    The Design & Modeling courses highlight the design process and encourage students to be creative and critical thinkers as they use the principles of engineering to solve problems. As pre-engineers, students are expected to document their thinking and techniques through journaling activities and portfolio creation. Grading is largely determined by these portfolios and through successful completion of design challenges.
           Design & Modeling (Tech A) meets twice per week for nine weeks.  Topics covered include:
    • Communication and Teamwork in Engineering
    • Graphic Design
    • Measurement
    • Introductory 3D Design
    • Forces and Loads
    • Specifications and Constraints
