146 College of Applied Science & Technology 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 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) Credits: (5) 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.

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) Credits: (5) 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 their 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 their 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.

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) Credits: (5) 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.

Minors are offered in Network Management Technology, Business/ Multimedia Technologies, Business/Marketing Education, and Business Education. The last two minors require an education major. Also offered are a Network Management Technology Certificate and a Network Technologies Certificate. The department offers courses in word processing, spreadsheets, database management, network management technology, telecommunications, local area networks, desktop publishing, graphics, business communication, multimedia, web design, internetworking, wireless technologies, operating systems, network certification, and other related areas. Network Management Technology students study both the data side and the voice side of the discipline. On the data side, students learn about computer networks, network operating systems, security, and computer application programs. On the voice side, students learn about designing, installing, and managing phone systems, and making decisions regarding the purchase and operation of hardware and software. The Business Education Composite Teaching major qualifies individuals to teach business and marketing-related subjects at the secondary school level. Business/Multimedia Technologies students gain knowledge of multimedia software and business systems. Graduates work in advertising, public relations, training, magazine and catalog publishing, and web design. Graduates are prepared as multimedia developers, desktop publishers, print/web designers, office supervisors/managers, and software trainers.
