MAYFIELD CSD
COURSE SYLLABUS

***PLEASE READ – IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR WHAT IS REQUIRED

Teacher:  Mr. Valovic
Room #:   232/234
	        
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
DDP OR (INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN (IED)
  ◦Designed for 9th or 10th grade students, the major focus of IED is the design process and its application. Through hands-on projects, students apply engineering standards and document their work. Students use industry standard 3D modeling software to help them design solutions to solve proposed problems, document their work using an engineer’s notebook, and communicate solutions to peers and members of the professional community.

WHAT YOU NEED: 
1)	3-ring binder (min. 2”)
2)	pen or regular (#2) pencils, which are okay for taking notes, but not for drawings. 
3)	If you don’t want to punch holes in your drawings, you should also have some pocket inserts in your notebook.  Your portfolio will be much more aesthetically pleasing and is part of your grade.
a.	These are clear sheet protectors, standard weight works best.
4)	Engineering Notebook-Supplied by teacher
 	
WHAT THE CLASS RULES ARE: 
Mayfield CSD has a very detailed Codes of Conduct and we expect all our students to maintain appropriate behavior at all times. Rather than list all those rules here, I have a specific handout, and we can sum up our expectations as 
• Be in class and be on time every day.
• Arrive prepared to participate and work every day.
• Treat each other and all guests with respect. 
• Maintain a safe, orderly, clean, and professional environment. 
***SEE CONTRACT-MUST BE SIGNED***

EVALUATION:
I believe it is the responsibility of students to earn a grade. Assignments must be completed according to the instructions given and turned in on time. Scoring rubrics will be provided for large projects and drawings. If you miss any class, you must request make-up work on the day you return from your absence. Any assignments that were due during your absence should be turned in on the day you return.  Refer to late work policy.

YOUR ENGINEERING NOTEBOOK:  (SUPPLIED BY TEACHER)
In your notebook you need to keep class notes, sketches, design process for each project, and anything else as instructed. Your notebook will be checked periodically and counts as part of your grade. 

YOUR PORTFOLIO: (3-RING BINDER-STUDENT SUPPLIED)
A portfolio is a collection of examples of your best work. Professionals use portfolios when interviewing for a job or soliciting clients. Your portfolio will demonstrate your level of understanding and expertise. It is very important to keep all your work for the whole year in your portfolio so you have it to create your portfolio. You will receive more details on the content and format requirements at that time and will be part of your grade for this class. Your portfolio will be checked periodically and counts as part of your grade.
