COURSE OUTLINE

Attributes of Design
Problem Solving
Engineering Design Process
Materials and Processes
Applying the Design Process

At times students will be working with tools and are expected to complete safety test if required and act in a safe and appropriate manner. Also students will be required to supply materials for some projects from outside the school. These supplies will be inexpensive things that you probably already have at home. (If this is a problem let me know and we can work through it)
Students will be evaluated on written work, quizzes, test, hands-on projects, and participation. Students will be expected to be able to work individually as well as in large and small groups.

Participate, be safe, be creative, think outside the box, and have fun in the world of design!
