Table 1 Major 6 – 12 Engineering Courses for Preparing Teachers Introduction to 3-D Design and Modeling Principles of sketching and three-dimensional computer design as a problem-solving process. Sketching and computer design skills as strategies for enhancing communication, visualization, ideation, optimization, and evaluation of designs. Introduction to rapid prototyping technology. Human-Centered Design Application of design to meet human needs, expectations, and use. Accessibility design for the physically challenged. Prototyping and Simulation Application of prototyping practices using various materials and rapid prototyping. The utilization of computer simulations as a process for refining design projects. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in TECH 3360. Control Systems An introduction to electrical, electronic, and computer-controlled systems. Industrial Design Basic principles of design and processes of production and their influences on design. Materials, processes, techniques, and equipment commonly used in the manufacture of products. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in TECH 3360. Systems of Technology I An overview of mechanical, electrical, and fluid power systems as they relate to extending human potential. Systems of Technology II An overview of the thermal and optical technologies. Prerequisite: TECH 2365.
