(915- Semester 1) COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING
(917- Semester 2) Semester course - 2 credits
Students in Computer Aided Drafting will be introduced to a series of tasks which will lead them into drafting floor plans and elevations on a computer and producing scale models. Initially students will learn to sketch concepts out on paper, then move on to use drafting tools such as T-square, triangles, compass, and drawing boards. The final stage will be to use the computer to produce a series of architectural drawings and if time permits, make scale model houses based on those drawings.

(9 10- Semester 1) TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
(911 - Semester 2)
Semester course - 2 credits
Transportation Systems is an introductory level course that involves the study of the four areas of transportation (land, air, water, and space). Students will work on projects and activities within each area that will allow them to design, construct, test and evaluate model and prototype vehicles. This may include crash testing vehicles, land speed vehicles, radio controlled vehicles, hovercrafts, model rockets, submarines, and vehicles powered by alternative energy sources (wind, solar, electric).
(909) ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS
Fall semester course - 2 credits
Students electing this course will design, create, test, evaluate and redesign projects to meet or exceed certain specifications. Students will be presented with a "real world" problem or need which they must solve by applying the engineering design process. Working in teams of 3 to 6 people, students will have to research the problem or need, develop a plan or product to resolve it, produce a model or prototype, test it to see if it works, collect and analyze the data, redesign, rebuild, and retest as needed, and present their findings to the class.
(920- Semester 1) CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING
(921- Semester 2)
Semester course - 2 credits
Suggested Prerequisite: WOODWORKING or ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS
Students in Construction Engineering will work with various building materials and construction members to design, build and market a structure. Possible structures will include a small shed, dog houses or play ground apparatus (full scale projects) or a series of smaller scale projects (depending on availability of space). On site visits may include the new high school building site, the "Big Dig" project, and a local residential building project.
