Design and Fabrication 1202
Design and Fabrication 1202 involves six major units of study. Units 1-5 provides students with the knowledge of design principles and basic “hands-on” skills in fabrication needed to complete the Design Project in Unit 6.
During Unit 6, students must work in groups of 3 or 4 on a major project assigned by the teacher that requires them to develop engineering drawings, fabricate a physical prototype, and evaluate its performance through prototype testing. Throughout the process, students are required to keep a record of all related activities in a Design Portfolio. In the Design Portfolio, students document the project schedule, support resources, group meetings, problem-solving strategies, and other key activities completed as they progress from an initial design concept to finished product.
The six units that comprise Design and Fabrication 1212 include the following key topics for a total of 110 hours instructional time:
Unit 1: Introduction to Design (10 hours)
