BWHS S. T. E. M. Courses ’ 20 -’ 21 Technology & Engineering Intro to Engineering Design: Honors-Level Course curriculum from Project Lead The Way (www. pltw. org). Students will learn the Engineering Design Process, solve problems using engineering principles, and use hands-on practical engineering protocols for design, modeling and project development. Technology Transfer: Students engage on projects that combine systems such as production, energy, communication, transportation, biotechnology, and other technologies. Thematic activities engage students in community problems where they implement technological methods to address real world challenges. Technology Assessment: Capstone course to apply skills in science, technology, engineering, math and other disciplines to analyze the impacts of technological systems. Students use computers and assessment activities to analyze products and systems, and design and present their newly created products or systems. Robotics Technology of Robotics Design: Students engage in the study of computers and microprocessors, operating systems, robotics, programming, control systems, and social/cultural impacts. Problem-solving activities challenge students to design, program, and interface multiple systems; computer-aided design & manufacturing, and electromechanical device controls. Students have the option to compete in VEX robotics competition teams. . Aerospace I: Students explore the aviation and space industries through the history of aviation, working with aerodynamics and aircraft components, addressing maintenance and safety issues, assessing flight conditions, examining airport and flight operations, and analyzing the concepts of rocketry and space. Aerospace II: Students explore concepts in aircraft operations; aircraft design, flight safety and maintenance; airport infrastructure; rocket technology; space systems; and living and working in the aerospace environment. Computer Aided Drafting & Design CADD-I Technical Drawing: Foundation course where students learn basic language of technical design, technical illustrations, models & prototypes of real design problems. Students develop spatial ability as they apply mathematical concepts to visual representations. CADD-II Engineering Drawing: Students explore the engineering design process and use a graphic language for product design, technical illustration, assembly, patent, and structural drawings. Students use computers, calculators, and descriptive geometry and adhere to standards to develop 3 D design solutions. CADD-II Architectural Drawing: Students explore architectural design foundations, construction techniques, and codes regulating building design. They apply these elements while producing models and illustrations of all aspects of a building, creating architectural design solutions using CADD-III Advanced Drawing: Capstone course where students increase understanding of drawing techniques. They apply the design process, analyze design solutions, reverse engineer, create 3 D solid models using CADD, construct physical models, and create multimedia presentations of finished designs in their portfolio. Manufacturing & Production Materials & Processes: Students focus on physical materials and processes used to fabricate products. Learning experiences include the use of tools & equipment related to analysis, testing, and processing of metals, plastics, woods, ceramics, & composite materials. Manufacturing Systems I: Experience hands-on orientation to manufacturing. Emphasis is placed on systems, safety, materials, production, business concepts and the manufacturing process. Students participate in individual and team activities to create products that demonstrate elements of manufacturing. Manufacturing Systems II: Develop in-depth understanding of automation and applications in manufacturing. Activities center on flexible manufacturing processes & computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Students solve complex interdisciplinary problems that stem from major systems in automated manufacturing. Production Systems: In this capstone course students assess the relationship between production and society as they compose design portfolios, construct production prototypes, and apply automation to evaluate their solutions to technological problems. Technology Student Association (TSA) The Technology Student Association is an international student organization that is exclusively devoted to supporting and advancing the achievement of students interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Competitive events and leadership opportunities that correlate to national STEM standards are available at the regional, state, and national levels.
