Course Number: 80331
In Engineering Design 1, the student studies the process of converting ideas and designs into technical drawings and communicates these ideas through drafting and design techniques. The student achieves understanding of the design and communication process by understanding traditional drafting techniques and increasing productivity through the use of CAD software. Career interests are explored.
Course Number: 80332
In Engineering Design 2, the student utilizes the computer to learn advanced drafting and design techniques while applying drafting theories and standards to solve design problems. The student focuses on the integration of general employability skills with the course design problems.
Course Number: 80346
In Engineering Design 3 the student pursues advanced directed study in an area of Engineering graphics and design, building on the skills developed in Engineering Design 1 and 2. The student produces a project(s) which demonstrates knowledge of Engineering content guided by the Instructor. He/She has the ability to work independently, to form goals, become familiar with careers and develop work habits of professionals. Literacy is integrated throughout the course.
Course Number: 80348
In Engineering Design 4, a student pursues advanced individual study in an area of Engineering graphics and design through an Industry work-site experience or through an independent and instructor guided project. The student assumes responsibility for identifying, pursuing, and culminating an activity that expands knowledge about some phase of the Engineering industry. He/She researches career fields and employability requirements that fit the skills developed in this course. Literacy is integrated throughout the course.
Course Number: 696131

Robotics Competition Team
VEX Robotics is a world-wide organization that offers students a platform for learning and understanding science, technology, engineering, and math.
Our teams compete year-round at local events with the season culminating in February at the VEX Robotics State Championship, located at New Mexico State University. If our team were to win at State, we would be eligible for the VEX World Championship.
This tournament brings the best teams from all over the world together and allows them to compete for scholarship opportunities and gain engineering knowledge.
