Curriculum

Learning Objectives of Year-Round Tri-Level Course Program

Our innovative STEM education provides students the opportunity to take their ideas and turn them into three-dimensional objects by using state-of-the-art 3D CAD software (design), as well as 3D printers (reality), and electronic circuits & coding.

• Create 3D models with state-of-the-art 3D CAD software, Creo Parametric
• Create technical orthographic views with hand-drawn drafting skills
• Create orthographic views with accurate dimensions
• Learn about projected, visible, hidden, and center lines
• Apply industry standards with engineering design methodology
• Measure physical objects with digital calipers
• Simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate the 3D models with 3D space mouse
• Re-construct physical parts to digital models
• Build assemblies of 3D CAD parts and check for interference with section views
• Slice the CAD models and orient the objects for best 3D print results
• Analyze the mass properties and centers of gravity
• Build electronic circuits with microcontroller boards
• Learn how to code the circuits using C programming language
• Simulate to see how electronics will respond in real life
• Apply critical thinking, problem solving, and spatial-visualization skills
• Create working prototypes by connecting the physical world to the digital world with proven methodology
• Build project-based STEM portfolios with hands-on experience
• Gain academic benefits
• Earn certificates upon each level completion
