FUSION 360 EDUCATION SOFTWARE

CNC Technologies including 3D Ultimaker printers, a Gantry Shopbot router, an Intelitek Milling machine, and a Trotec Laser Cutter/Engraver will bring models to life for student testing and analysis. Students will develop skill in engineering calculations, technical representation, and documentation of design solutions according to accepted technical standards. They apply STEM practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3D architectural design software. Students learn the fundamentals of building design, site design, and project development. Offered in conjunction with Project Lead the Way and Rochester Institute of Technology, this course provides an overview of the fields of Civil Engineering and Architecture, while emphasizing their interrelationship and dependence. CNC Technologies including 3D Ultimaker printers, a Gantry Shopbot router, an Intelitek Milling machine, and a Trotec Laser Cutter/Engraver will bring the products to life for student testing and analysis. Students apply knowledge gained throughout the course in a capstone project to build a manufacturing system. Students will evaluate their design solutions using various techniques of analysis, and make appropriate modifications before producing their prototypes. Students will also be introduced to the fundamentals of robotics and how this equipment is used in an automated manufacturing environment.

Students will use computer-controlled rapid prototyping and CNC equipment to solve problems by constructing actual models of their three dimensional designs. This course builds upon the computer solid modeling skills developed in PLTW Design & Drawing for Production. Offered in conjunction with Project Lead the Way and Rochester Institute of Technology, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the applied study of the principles of rapid prototyping, robotics, and automation.

FUSION 360 EDUCATION REGISTRATION

(Optional RIT registration fee вЂ“ approximately $225.00.) Students may elect to receive three credits from Rochester Institute of Technology by taking an exam at the conclusion of the course. This course meets the Arts I credit requirement for high school graduation. They will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges that increase in difficulty throughout the course.

FUSION 360 EDUCATION SOFTWARE

Students will learn advanced solid modeling using state of the art computer-aided design (CAD) software including Inventor, Fusion 360, or OnShape. Offered in conjunction with Project Lead the Way and Rochester Institute of Technology, Design & Drawing for Production also known as Introduction to Engineering Design is a course where students learn how the engineering design process is used in industry to manufacture a product using three-dimensional solid models. Through problems that engage and challenge, PLTW courses explore a broad range of engineering disciplines, including 3D design and modeling, robotics and automation, mechatronics, civil engineering and architecture, digital electronics and circuit design, and computer integrated manufacturing. Students learn and develop highly transferable STEM skills based on the engineering design process using industry-leading technology and software. Affiliated with the Rochester Institute of Technology, PLTW Engineering is a dual enrollment program that applies science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context.
