COURSE SYLLABUS Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)

COURSE SYLLABUS – Introduction to Engineering mathematical and computational thinking, and constructing Design (IED) explanations. These practices will be used to demonstrate By: Ms. Mildred Llaguno-Costo understanding of the core ideas of several engineering practices Email Address: [email protected] or [email protected] including design and evaluation. Activities and projects will be based on real life situations that will develop students’ critical thinking skills, BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, AND BE SAFE. problem solving skills and decision making skills.

Welcome Students and Parents, Course Materials: (Required Materials) We all know that all students can learn and succeed with Students are expected to have the following learning materials with effort, dedication, determination and the support of friends and them: family. Let us work together in helping your child meet the above * Composition notebook (graph notebook) expectations. We will contact you if your child is habitually tardy * Interactive binder (1 inch to 1 ½ inches) to class, is absent, or is having difficulty meeting the behavior or * Pens and Pencils with erasers, ruler, glue stick academic standards of the class. Let us work together to ensure * calculator (scientific calculator if possible) your child’s success. * USB Ms. Costo Course Description: CLASS RULES/BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES: 1. BE PROMPT. Be on time and sit on your assigned seat. The Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is a high school (If late, a tardy slip from the office is required to enter the class.) level foundation course in the PLTW (Project Lead The Way) 2. BE PREPARED. All materials ready in class. (binder, composition graph Engineering Program. In this course, students are introduced to the notebook, pen/pencil, ruler, glue sticks )…. There will be a engineering profession and a common approach to the solution of penalty/consequences for incomplete materials. engineering problems, an engineering design process. Utilizing the 3. FOCUS. As you enter the class, start working with the activity-project-problem-based (APB) teaching and learning pedagogy, agenda, learning objectives, standard, and warm-up. students will progress from completing structured activities to solving 4. RESPECT EVERYONE. Treat everyone with respect. open-ended projects and problems that require them to develop 5. RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT. Classroom environment planning, documentation, communication, and other professional must be kept clean and organize. NO FOOD or NO DRINK inside skills. the classroom especially during discussion. NO TAGGING! MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) ----Remember the saying “CAVEMEN WRITE ON WALLS!” 6. No Electronic Devices on class except for calculators. and the Next Generation Science Standards for Today’s Students and Tomorrow’s Workforce with the goal of providing all students an BEHAVIOR WILL BE PART OF THE ACADEMIC GRADE internationally benchmarked science education will be incorporated.
