At
Grand
Haven High School, students enjoy working with the latest CAD
releases and modern facilities that make for rewarding experiences to prepare
for careers relating to engineering, architecture, and design. The focus is
both in theory and in practice as students work individually and
collaboratively on projects and assignments that are rigorous and relevant to
the area of study leading to positive results in and out of the classroom. In the Architectural
Design classes, students use AutoCADŽ to design working
drawings. Focus is on design. Students create working drawings, presentation
drawings, and model construction. There
are three pre-engineering courses: Drafting and Design, Engineering Design,
and CAD Applications. Drafting and Design
offers students an introduction to the fundamentals of technical drawing and
valuable AutoCADŽ training. It is strongly recommended and required in some
cases that students sign up for this course prior to other courses in the
department. Engineering
Design takes students a step further into 3D CAD Solid
Modeling. CAD
Applications offers students the opportunities for advanced
CAD modeling using Pro/ENGINEERŽ Wildfire and prototype design using the
Dimension 3D printer. In the Product Design class
students create a variety of industrial design projects that highlight their
understanding of the fundamentals of design, problem solving, and team
building skills. These projects are truly unique and exciting to complete. New Equipment |
