WSU Course Description:

This introductory course explores the wide variety of careers in engineering and technology and covers various technology systems and manufacturing processes. Using activities, projects, and problems, students learn first hand how engineers and technicians use math, science, and technology in an engineering problem-solving process to benefit people. The course also addresses concerns about social and political consequences of technological change.

Note: The PLTW Introduction to Engineering Design curriculum, text, material and objectives will also be covered in this course.

WSU Course Objectives:

In general, students will learn key concepts of visual communication to design and create tables, charts, and graphs to illustrate data.

Activity: A table of numbers supplied by the teacher shows the results of a driver education experiment. The experiment measures the time between the appearance of a stimulus on a screen and a student's reaction of depressing the brake pedal. Use this data in Excel to create a Histogram.

Sample Project

Objective: Students will use knowledge of material properties and the effects of stress to build support structures. They will explain why their structure should withstand a given load and where weaknesses may occur.
