Computer Integrated Manufacturing (PLTW) Syllabus April 2008  PAGE 4 HAZELWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (PLTW) SYLLABUS Course Description: Computer Integrated Manufacturing is a specialized course within the Engineering Academy. This course teaches the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. It builds on the solid-modeling skills developed in the Introduction to Engineering Design Course. Students use 3-D computer software to solve design problems. They assess their solutions through the relationship of design, function and materials, modify their designs, and use prototyping equipment to produce 3-D models. This course can be taken concurrently with Digital Electronics and articulates for college credit. (Prerequisite: Principles of Engineering and Introduction to Engineering Design) Approved Course Materials and Resources: *Instructional videos limited to no more than six hours each semester Course Expectations: Students will demonstrate: an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility an ability to communicate effectively the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice an ability to re
