Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 92

Computer Aided Manufacturing (CIM) students are able to design parts for equipment that can be used for rapid prototyping simialar to the manufacturing methods used in industry. Additionally, they are able to creat parts for equipment to increase functionality and productivity.

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) students are able to take their charm designs, created on paper, then developed in CADD to make actual prototypes and finished products. With the rapid protoyping of additive manufacturing, redesigns can be made quicly and at low cost.

Robotics students cand design and produce functional parts for skills based robot challenges.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The goal for this proposal is to get students engaged in the Additive Manufacturing and Fast Prototyping processes. At University High School, we are committed to preparing students for the growing world of manufacturing careers by exposing students to the latest technologies. This printer will allow students to bring their Computer-Aided Designs and Drafting (CADD) projects to actualization.

What will be done with my students

The equipment will be used to take student design ideas that are created in the CADD programs they are training on, to actual part manufacture.

Standards:
CTE 3.0: Create and assemble a CAD model and prototype

CTE 36.0: Demonstrate proficiency in designing products for manufacturability.

CTE 42.0: Demonstrate an understanding of the elements of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

Benefits to my students

Student will learn how to bring design projects to life with fast prototyping and enhance their design skills thru the iterative process of continuous design improvement.
