Technological Design Syllabus Ms. Davis
[email protected]
Course Description
The Technological Design class will be divided into three technical and engineering areas Introduction to Engineering, Transportation and Green Technology. Students will work in teams as well as on their own. The student will use design and problem solving methods to find solutions to problems presented and complete activities that compliment each area, as well as combine areas together. Each
Student will rotate through the technical and engineering areas during the time that is available for the course. While the student will be given as much latitude to explore, invent and design as time allows, they will be accountable for the time allotment given.
Being part of a team, attendance will be a priority. When a team member is absent, often the team’s total accomplishment will suffer. The students will consider the ethics and responsibilities relating to each design process. The teams will also be challenged by competing against other teams to test there designs. The student will develop a portfolio tracking their progress through the challenge as well as research careers that pertain to each. After finding solutions for a “Request for proposal” (RFP) for each
design area the student will make an oral and visual presentation incorporating materials created for their portfolio.
Daily classroom supplies:
Supplied by the student - Engineering notebook (a composition book or a 5 x 7 will work) and a pencil. Special Supplies Requirements: will be covered under a $5.00 lab fee other materials will be Re-cycle type materials such as soft drink cans, paper towel tubes, Pringle’s cans, etc.
Students have the opportunity to hand build a beautiful out door chair. The cost to student varies based on the type of wood used.
Extra credit is available –
Students may write a one page summary on a current event involving NASA. All extra credit work must be turned in 2 weeks prior to the end of the semester.
