Instruction includes experiences in gathering and translating realistic project data or specifications, completion of two and three dimensional drawings, and the development of computer models. Instruction will reinforce and expand students mathematical skills through the study of geometric tolerancing and construction and the use of geometry and trigonometry principles in design projects and laboratory activities. Students will also enhance their reading and comprehension skills through daily use of technical software manuals. The techniques learned, and software used, should be state of the art and reflect current industry standards.
