CURRICULUM

Engineering D & D II

 Engineering Drafting & Design II - Course Narrative:

           It is the intent that Engineering Drafting and Design II be offered to students who are genuinely interested in a career as an engineer, engineering technician, machine draftsperson or related technical career.  A student must satisfactory pass the course requirements for Engineering Drafting and Design I, be capable of aggressive level 1 work, and obtain teacher permission before rostering for this course.

            Engineering Drafting and Design II is a continuation of an engineering graphics course that was patterned after courses taught in most college engineering programs of study.  The course follows closely the text Engineering Drafting and Design by Jensen and Helsel and is supplemented by current industrial techniques, problem solving exercises, presentation and group skills, and the development of critical thinking skills.  Problem solving assignments, written and oral expression, working in groups, working with clients, and design with be stressed at this level.
