Engineering and Architecture

  • 6560 Exploring Engineering and Architecture

    Offered at CB South and CB West

    (9 weeks, .5 credit)

    This 9 week course is for those students wishing to investigate their interest in Engineering and Architecture. In this course, students will be introduced to the engineering design process and use it to solve problems related to engineering and architecture. Class time will be devoted to CAD (computer-aided design), vinyl cutting, 3D modeling software, robotics, coding and electronics. Students will use a variety of techniques and real-world technologies throughout the course. Students completing this course should next enroll in Engineering and Architecture 2 with a final grade of C- or better, or approval of teacher.

    Offered at CB South and CB West

    (18 weeks, 1 credit)

    This 18 week course is highly recommended for students interested in pursuing engineering or architecture upon graduation. In this course, students will be introduced to the engineering design process and use it to solve problems related to engineering and architecture. Class time will be devoted to CAD (computer-aided design), vinyl cutting, and 3D modeling software, robotics, coding and electronics. Students will use a variety of techniques and real-world technologies throughout the course. Students will begin portfolios of their work.

     

    6562 Engineering and Architecture 2

    Offered at CB South and CB West

    (18 weeks, 1 credit)

    Building upon the experiences and knowledge in Engineering and Architecture 1, students will expand their knowledge in CAD (computer aided design), vinyl cutting, 3D modeling software, robotics, coding, and electronics. Students will work with CNC programming, laser engraving and the programming of microcontrollers. Emphasis is placed on three-dimensional conceptualization, elements of design and applications of technology through engineering. Students will continue to develop portfolios of their work.

    Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering and Architecture 1 or Exploring Engineering and Architecture with a final grade of C- or better, or approval of teacher.

     

    6563 Engineering and Architecture 3

    Offered at CB South and CB West

    (18 weeks, 1 credit)

    Building upon the experiences and knowledge in Engineering and Architecture 2, students will select advanced engineering and architectural design problems which they will solve based upon their college and career goals. Computer aided design, vinyl cutting, 3-D modeling software, robotics, coding, electronics and open source programming will be used for accomplishing design challenges.  Students will finalize portfolios of their work.

    Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering and Architecture 2 with a final grade of C- or better, or approval of teacher.
