Courses
Introduction to Engineering Design
Introduction to Engineering Design is an introductory course that develops student problem solving skills with emphasis placed on the development of three-dimensional computer models. Students will learn a problem solving design process and how it is used to design products. A Computer Aided Design (CAD) software program will be used to create, analyze, and evaluate the designs. The techniques learned and equipment used is state of the art and currently being used by engineers throughout the country.
Civil Engineering and Architecture
Civil Engineering and Architecture is the study of the design and construction of residential and commercial building projects. The major focus of the course is to expose students to the design and construction of residential and commercial building projects which will include architectural drawings, site planning, landscape design, structural design, and foundation systems. The course applies and concurrently develops secondary level knowledge and skills in mathematics, science, art, and technology.
Utilizing the activity-project-problem-based (APPB) teaching and learning, students will analyze, design and build electronic 3D models in our Autodesk 3D modeling computer software-Revit, and will also build physical models of residential and commercial facilities. While implementing these designs students will continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process.
Civil Engineering and Architecture is one of four specialization courses in the Project Lead The Way®high school pre-engineering program.
Engineering Design and Development
Engineering Design and Development (EDD) is an advanced high school course and it is my hope that each student will gain valuable knowledge as they indentify a real-world problem and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their unique solution to a panel of engineers by the end of the semester.
Environmental Sustainability
Environmental Sustainability (ES) is a high school-level specialization course in Project Lead the Way(PLTW) Engineering. In ES, students investigate and design solutions to solve real-world challengesrelated to clean drinking water, a stable food supply, and renewable energy. Students are introduced to environmental issues and use the engineering design process to research and design potential solutions. Through both individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and problems, students problem solve as they practice common design and scientific protocols such as project management, lab techniques, and peer review. Students develop skills in designing experiments, conducting research, executing technical skills, documenting design solutions according to accepted technical standards, and creating presentations to communicate solutions.
Architectural Design 1/ Architectural Computer Graphics AET 111 (Trident Tech Dual Enrollment)
The course advances the study of the processes involved in the creation and understanding of architecture. The course focuses on the application of architectural form and spatial organizations through a series of design projects. It investigates space and form as a language and construct through the design of projects and analysis of architecture. The course is structured around design projects executed in studio, history and project research, field trips and guest visits, and the development of architectural graphics both by hand and by computer tools. This course includes architectural construction, basic computer-aided design commands and the creation of industry symbols and standards. Building Information Modeling will be conducted using the latest version of Autodesk Revit software and 3D modeling including SketchUp. Students will be taught in a studio environment, through an iterative design process and exchange ideas and feedback with peers and instructors. There is a natural progression to the projects in the course; projects and assignments build upon one another. Students will maintain a sketchbook of ideas, a notebook of assignments, and an ongoing digital portfolio of work. Students can satisfy a requirement for the East Cooper CAS Architecture Recognition Program with this course.
