Engineering Graphics 1-8
.5 Credit 

(Applied Art and/or Computer Credit)

Engineering Graphics is designed for students interested in careers in design, engineering, manufacturing, or for those seeking an engaging elective. Students will study the Engineering Design Process, problem-solving, and drafting using a universal technical drafting language. Instruction includes the use of drawing instruments, geometric construction, multi-view projection, and isometric drawing. Students will also learn to use current CAD software and gain experience in 3D modeling. Hands-on problem-solving activities, both individual and group-based, are a key component of the course. Some lessons will incorporate 3D printing.

Architecture 1-6
.5 Credit

(Applied Art and/or Computer Credit)

Architecture is designed for students interested in exploring careers in architecture, interior design, or for
those seeking a creative and engaging elective. Students will study architectural history, residential design, and design fundamentals. Instruction includes the use of modern CAD software to create floor plans, elevations, and 3D models. Hands-on activities are a key component of the course. Architecture 2 and advanced courses build upon the foundational skills developed in the introductory course, offering a deeper exploration of architectural construction, design,
and planning.

Small Engines
0.5 Credit

This course provides a semester of experiences in theory, application, maintenance, and safe operation of a four-stroke cycle engine and is an excellent choice for students looking for a hands-on and fun elective. As students disassemble and reassemble an engine, they learn about small engine construction. Preventive maintenance as well as troubleshooting and repair is stressed. All systems (carburetion, lubrication, ignition, etc.) are covered in lectures, films, research, discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences.

Innovation Series
0.5 Credit

Innovative Technology (iTech) is a semester elective that teaches students the 21st Century Skills they need to become successful in both college and work
environments. Students in iTech will study the impact of technology on the world they live in and use traditional woodworking tools as well as cutting-edge technologies (such as 3D printing) to create prototypes that improve the daily lives of others. iTech is the first class of 4 in the Innovation series. iTech is followed by iDesign, iCreate, and iCapstone.
