Math Prerequisite: Currently taking or previously completed Geometry and a grade of “B” or better in all Algebra courses taken at the high school level. Additional Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in Intro to Engineering Design Honors (991).The purpose of this course is to teach the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. It builds on the solid modeling skills developed in the 991 IED course. Students use 3-D computer software to solve design problems. They assess their solutions through mass property analysis (the relationship of design, function and materials), modify their designs, and use prototyping equipment to produce 3-D models. The course includes the following concepts: Computer modeling with 3-D software for property analysis; Computer Numerical Control (CNC); Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM); Rapid Prototyping; Robotics; Flexible Manufacturing Systems; Programmable Logic Control; CIM Cell Construction. Students who complete the course and the national exam with high achievement are eligible to receive college credits from the Rochester Institute of Technology and several other colleges for a fee. Grade weighted upon successful completion of course. As an Honors level, dual-credit course, this class will receive AP (5.0) weight in your GPA, adhering to Pennsylvania Department of Education’s guidelines
