Intro to Engineering Design
(IED)

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED), is a year-long course specifically designed for inquiring 9th and 10th grade minds. In IED, students will learn about different fields of engineering, what engineers do and how they follow a design and problem solving process to develop new products. Students will learn how to sketch, document, and model their designs using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software, and will build many of their designs in our new Fabrication Lab. The course culminates in a multi-school design development and marketing project.

This course is articulated with Mira Costa College. Students passing with a "B" or better earn transferable college credit.

Lesson 1.2.1 -
Introduction to Sketching
It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. This proverb is very true when communicating ideas to solving problems. To properly communicate technical information about objects that must be manufactured, fluency in the universal language of technical drawing is required. One of the first steps to learning this language is developing the ability to sketch.
