Engineering and Technology

Teacher: Sherrina Clark - Sherrina.Clark@cobbk12.org

FOUNDATIONS OF ENGINEERING (1ST LEVEL):

The Foundations of Engineering and Technology is the introductory course for the Engineering and Technology Education pathways.  This STEM driven course provides the students with an overview of engineering and technology including the different methods used in the engineering design process developing fundamental technology and engineering literacy.  Students will demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have learned through various project based activities while using an engineering design process to successfully master the “E” in STEM.  The pre-requisite for this course is advisor approval.

CONCEPTS OF ENGINEERING (2ND LEVEL):

Engineering Concepts is the second course in the Engineering and Technology Pathway.  Students will learn to design technical solutions to engineering problems using a whole systems approach to engineering design.  Students will demonstrate the application of mathematical tools, teamwork, and communications skills in solving various design challenges, while maintaining a safe work environment. The prerequisite for this course is Foundations of Engineering and Technology.

APPLICATIONS OF ENGINEERING (3RD LEVEL):

Engineering Applications is the third course in the Engineering and Technology Pathway.  Students will apply their knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to develop solutions to technological problems.  Solutions will be developed using a combination of engineering software and prototype production processes.  Students will use market research, cost benefit analysis, and an understanding of the design cycle to create and present design, marketing, and business plans for their solutions.  A capstone project will allow students to demonstrate their depth of knowledge of the engineering design process and prepare them for future opportunities in the field of engineering.  The prerequisite for this course is Engineering Concepts.

48.56100 - Introduction to Graphic Design

48.56200 - Graphic Design & Production

 

48.52800 - Advanced Graphic Design

Graphic Design, high school students can acquire a fundamental understanding of the graphic communications and design world. They will learn the theories behind creating aesthetically pleasing designs and how to work with consumers. Students are exposed to trending technologies and community opportunities for live design work with friendly competitions. Exposure to career possibilities and discussion of ethical issues relating to graphic communications and design are also important threads in this course. Graphic Communications is defined as the processes and industries that create, develop, produce, and disseminate products utilizing or incorporating words or images to convey information, ideas, and feelings. GC products facilitate learning, enjoyment, motivation, and commerce. The graphics industry includes the family of market segments embracing the technologies of printing, publishing, packaging, electronic imaging, and their allied industries; they are often referred to as the graphic arts, print, and digital industries.
