Prerequisite: None
Length: Two semesters
CTE Pathway: 7700 - Engineering and Architecture / Introduction
College Entrance: Meets one year of UC/CSU College-Preparatory Elective (G) / Interdisciplinary requirement.
Description: The MBHS Engineering Sculpture and Design course is a project-based introduction to the modern world of engineering design manufacturing. ALL students interested in the field of engineering and manufacturing as a career will benefit from the hands-on approach to engineering design in this class. Each student will engage in interdisciplinary learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through a hands-on project-based approach. This course will provide an opportunity for students with no prior engineering and manufacturing experience to develop a foundational understanding of industry-standard software and machining equipment, while also providing a challenging environment for those students with prior experience to dive deeper into the world of engineering and design. Students will also learn how to apply these skills to their daily lives to solve problems around them. The main Learning Modules for this course include; The Engineering Design Process, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Tools and Safety, Manual Machining, Precision Manufacturing, Digital Fabrication, and Electricity and Circuits.
Engineering Robotics and Technology II P DE
Course Code: 202710, 202720
Grade Level: 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Engineering Sculpture and Design I
Length: Two semesters
CTE Pathway: 7730 - Intermediate Engineering Design / Concentrator
College Entrance: Meets one year of UC/CSU College-Preparatory Elective (G) / Interdisciplinary requirement.
Description: The MBHS Engineering Robotics and Technology course is a college-level, dual-enrolled class designed to build on the application of the engineering design process and the software and manufacturing skills introduced in Engineering Sculpture and Design. ALL students interested in the field of engineering and manufacturing as a career will benefit from the hands-on approach to engineering design in this class. Each student will engage in interdisciplinary learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through a hands-on project-based approach. This is the second course in the CTE pathway. Course projects are designed to be more complex, with an emphasis on manufacturing skills and electronics. Students will develop and improve their manufacturing skills with the use of the Lathe, Mill, CNC Router, 3D Printer, CNC Mill, and Laser Cutter/Engraver. The main Learning Modules for this course include; Arduino Programming, ROV Submarine Robot Design, Ballpoint Pen Manufacturing, and CNC manufacturing. (Dual Enrollment)
Engineering & Design III P DE
Course Code: 201810, 201820
Grade Level: 11, 12
Prerequisite: Engineering Sculpture and Design I P and Engineering Robotics and Technology II P
Length: Two semesters, repeatable
CTE Pathway: 7731 - Advanced Engineering Design / Capstone
College Entrance: Meets one year of UC/CSU College-Preparatory Elective (G) / Interdisciplinary requirement.
Description: The MBHS Engineering Drawing and Design course is the third in a series of project-based classes designed to deepen students’ understanding of the engineering design process while building on software and manufacturing skills developed in previous courses. This college-level, dual-enrolled course with Cuesta College provides hands-on experience that benefits all students interested in pursuing engineering or technical trades as a career. Through an interdisciplinary, project-based approach, students will engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) concepts while receiving advanced instruction in key engineering topics. These include machinery tool operation, applied physics fundamentals, drivetrain systems, actuators, laser cutting, CNC machining, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools and simulations. The course’s main learning modules focus on mechanical modeling and mechatronic integration, CNC manufacturing, CAD industry certification, and engineering shop management. By applying these skills to real-world challenges, students develop practical problem-solving abilities that extend beyond the classroom. This pathway is essential for those considering careers in engineering or manufacturing, offering a learn-by-doing experience that prepares them for future academic and professional success.
