Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT) Exam Review (1) F, S This course is designed to provide a strudured review for the student to take the Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT) Exam. MFET 5050. Gateway to Technology (5) Su 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 Projed Lead the Way course in their respective schools. Gateway to Technology introduces the Projed 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. MFET 5100. Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) (5) Su IED provides students with opportunities to be creative and to apply their dedsion-making and problem-solving skills to design problems. Students use powerful computer hardware and software (Inventor) to develop 3-D modds or solid renderings of objeds. Using a Computer Aided Design System, students learn the produd 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 spedfically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and distrids to teach the Project Lead the Way courses in their 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 levd and in the workplace, and they explore engineering systems and manufaduring 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 spedfically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and distrids to teach the Project Lead the Way courses in their 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.
