Engineering Design 1 & 2

High School Engineering Instruction

Instructor · Two Academic Years

Class Overview

I taught Engineering Design 1 & 2 at the high school level over the past two years, guiding students through engineering fundamentals, structured design process, and project-based technical problem solving.

Coursework emphasized real-world application, documentation quality, and iterative design thinking. Students developed concept sketches, technical communication skills, and presentation confidence through progressive design challenges.

Philosophy of Problem Solving

Engineering Process

Problem framing, research, ideation, prototyping, testing, and refinement through documented design iterations.

Technical Communication

Design briefs, annotated sketches, dimensioned drawings, and formal project presentations with peer critique.

CAD & Design Tools

Digital modeling workflows and production-ready drawing conventions used to communicate intent and manufacturability.

Project-Based Learning

Hands-on team and individual projects connecting engineering principles to practical classroom outcomes.
