Product Design: After studying product design history and marketing, students will implement the ‘design process’ themselves by identifying a need or problem, investigating and researching the problem, and designing alternative solutions. Starting with basic marketing tenets, students will develop a product, research the target market and competition, design innovative packaging, coordinating “POP” designs (three dimensional point of purchase or counter displays) and advertising to complete their promotional campaign. Creative problem solving, idea development, aesthetics and technical proficiency are emphasized as you develop attention getting concepts for illustration, type design, package design, advertising and promotional material of an original product..Design & Prototyping: This studio course gives the students hands-on opportunities to develop skills in a variety of media such as linoleum block printing, latex mold making, plaster casting, sculpture, watercolors, acrylics and collage. This course takes the students through a series of design projects that result in complete, full-size working prototypes. There is an introduction to fabrication techniques in wood, metal and plastics - the most common materials used to build visual and working prototypes.AP Studio Art 3D: The AP Studio Art portfolios are designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written examination; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. Students will submit for AP Studio Art as a culminating project for the major, using samples from each course.PLTW CIM: Computer Modeling (Fundamentals, Object Construction, Parts Modeling, Working Drawings, Surface Modeling, Rapid Prototyping), CNC Machining (History of Programmable Machining, CNC Characteristics, CNC Programming, CNC Operation, CAM Software), Robotics (Robotics and Automated Systems, Controllers, Programming, End Effectors, Applications) , and actual Computer Integrated Manufacturing.Engineering Design & Development (EDD): This senior capstone course immerses students in a full research project in engineering design from brainstorming to prototyping. A formal research paper and presentation are required and students are expected to submit their projects into local, state and national competitions.
