Pixel and vector graphic drawing programs are presented. Students use 3-D drawing programs to create virtual designs. Computer aided manufacturing is detailed through a student design project. The CAM project utilizes software simulation for design analysis. This segment of Engineering Foundations focuses on the strength and design of structures.
Students construct and test models.
Truss design, efficiency and load distribution are topics that focus on structures Engineering Foundations II Electronic Systems Basic electronic circuitry with a focus on direct current. Applications which include determination of current flow and control. Use of digital circuitry - chip and gates. Fiber optic usage. Electronic signal generation, reception, and shortwave.
