ENGINEERING DESIGN (CAD)
Grades 9-12 Year-long 1 credit
Engineering Design introduces the student to the universal language of technical drawing. Students will complete 3D drawings while studying the following topics: geometric construction, orthographic drawing, multi-view drawing anddimension techniques. Students will also study CNC machining. Parts designed on the computer using the Computer Aided Design system (CAD) software will be manufactured on the 3 axis CNC mill. CNC mill projects will include parts for the electric vehicle, robot parts and individual student projects. This course is a good introduction to the engineering language of computer aided design.
