MFET 5050. Gateway to Technology (5) 5a Gateway to Technology is a course designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by districts to teach the related Project Lead the Way course in their respective schools. Gateway to Technology introduces the Project Lead the Way series of courses covering the principles of engineering and technology. The course promotes an understanding of the field of technology and covers the continuous evolution of technology, the positive and negative impact of technology on our society, and career opportunities in technology. This course will utilize a train the trainer approach, meaning that the high school teachers will learn both technical content as well as the teaching methodologies they will use in the presentation of the course at their high schools. 79 MFET 5100. Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) (5) Su IED provides students with opportunities to be creative and to apply their decision-making and problem-solving skills to design problems. Students use powerful computer hardware and software (Inventor) to develop 3-D models or solid renderings of objects. Using a Computer Aided Design System, students learn the product design process through creating, analyzing, rendering and producing a model. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two- week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and districts to teach the Project Lead the Way courses in theft respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification. MFET 5300. Principles of Engineering (POE) (5) Su POE is designed to help students understand the field and the career possibilities of engineering and engineering technology. Students work on the problem-solving skills that are used at the college level and in the workplace, and they explore engineering systems and manufacturing processes. Students learn how engineers address concerns about the social and political consequences of technological change. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two-week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by theft schools and districts to teach the Project Lead the Way courses in theft respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification. MFET 5400. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) (5) Su CIM is a course that applies principles of prototyping, robotics, and automation. It builds on the solid modeling skills developed in Introduction to Engineering Design. Students use computer- controlled equipment to solve problems by constructing models of theft three-dimensional designs. Students are also introduced to the fundamentals of robotics and to how this equipment is used in an automated environment. Students evaluate theft design solutions using various techniques and modifications before they produce the prototype. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two-week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by theft schools and districts to teach the Project Lead the Way courses in theft respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification. MFET 5500. Engineering Design and Development (EDD) (5) Su In this course, students work on a team with one or two others to design and construct the solution to an engineering problem. The problems involve a wide range of engineering applications (e.g., a school robo-mascot, automated solar water heater, remote control hover craft). The course serves as a capstone course where students apply the principles they developed in previous courses. A journal is part of each student's portfolio. Each team is responsible for delivering progress reports and making final presentations to an outside review panel. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two- week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by theft schools and districts to teach the Project Lead the Way courses General PROFILE ENROLLMENT STUDENT AFFAIRS ACADEMIC INFO DEGREE REQ GENED Interdisciplinary FYE HNRS BIS LIBS INTRD MINORS Applied Science & Technology AUSV/ATTC CEET CS MFET/MET CMT DGET ENGR IDT SST TBE Arts& Humanities MENG COMM ENGL FL DANC MUSC THEA ART/ARTH Business & Econ MBA MACC/ACTG BSAD FIN MGMT MKTG SCM ECON/QUAN 1ST Education MED CHF ATHL/AT HLTH/NUTR PE/PEP/REC EDUC Health Professions MHA CLS DENT PAR HTHS HAS/HIM NRSG RADT DMS/NUCM RATH REST Science BTNY CHEM GEO MATH/MTHE MICR PHYS ZOOL Social & Behavioral Sciences MCJ/CJ ECON GEOG HIST POLS PHIL PSY SW GERT SOC ANTH AERO MILS NAVS Continuing Ed Davis Campus Weber State University 2007 - 2008 Catalog
