Engineering Design

Students will develop important skills for a career in engineering, including iterative design, physical prototyping, effective communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and using data to make decisions. Engineering Design students learn and use an industry-standard computer-aided design (CAD) tool, Autodesk Inventor, to design solutions to real-world problems, and a 3D printer to test those solutions in a physical setting. Students learn to document their work using established practices that will be relevant in higher education and future job opportunities, regardless of field. Along the way, they'll use their math, science, artistic, spatial, and writing abilities to design, analyze, and explain their ideas in a practical way.
