Intro to Engineering | High School

This is an Intro to Engineering Bundle written based on my classroom experience teaching Engineering to high school students (mainly seniors).

The Bundle follows the requirements of Florida's Standard Introduction to Engineering Design 8600550. I quote: "This course exposes students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards, and technical documentation. Students will employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of engineering design problems. In addition, they will learn to use 3D solid modeling design software to design solutions to problems. Students will develop problem solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions, document the process, and communicate the results."

Topics covered with their respective Florida standards:

1. Design Process | S.C. 912.N.1.1
2. Sketching and Technical Drawing | S.C. 912.N.1.7
3. Engineering Design | S.C. 912.N.1.7
4. Standard and Metric Systems of Measurements | N/A
5. Prototyping using CAD software | N/A
6. Dimensions in CAD software | N/A
7. Tolerances in Engineering Design | N/A
8. Assembling parts using CAD software | N/A
9. Creating parts using CAD software | N/A
10. Fluid power, hydraulic and pneumatic systems | N/A
11. Impact of visual design on Engineering Design | N/A
12. Reverse Engineering | S.C. 912.N.2.2
13. Design Briefs | N/A
14. Product Life Cycle | S.C. 912.L.17.16
15. Virtual Project Teams, Change Management and Project Management | N/A

The Bundle currently offers a variety of custom made projects, activities and quizzes to introduce students to fundamental notions of mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, and robotics.

Use this with a high school engineering class or an advanced middle school STEM class. Please be advised that the Bundle is under construction so this is an initial / partial version of it. Please stay in touch with us for the remainder of the Bundle.
