Introduction to Engineering Design is a year-long honors introductory course based on Project Lead the Way, a nationwide organization that develops curriculum in Engineering and Technology (PLTW.org). The IED course teaches problemsolving skills using the Engineering and Design Process. Topics include the Engineering Design Process, technical sketching, 3-D CAD modeling (Autodesk Fusion/OnShape), reverse engineering, measurement, and product innovation. 

Students will create and prototype 3-D models using industry standard CAD software and various manufacturing techniques including 3-D Printers and Laser Cutters. Students will learn how to properly document their work to create an online project portfolio.
