Dear Parent(s) or Guardian,
Welcome to the 1st semester of the 2018 – 2019 school year at Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology. I am looking forward to teaching an “Introduction to Engineering Design - Honors” course to your child.
The major focus of the course is learning how to take an idea through a design process that will eventually be manufactured or produced. As you learn about various aspects of engineering and engineering design, such as how engineers communicate through drawing, they will apply what they learned through various activities, projects, and problems.
In addition, your student will use Inventor, which is a state of the art 3-D design software package from Autodesk, to help them design solutions to different design projects. Working in teams, they will learn about documenting solutions, solving problems, and communicating their solutions to other students and members of the professional community of engineering and engineering design.
I intend to provide a nurturing but rigorous learning environment based on mutual respect and hard work. I am fully committed to providing your child with the tools and knowledge necessary to succeed in this course.
Students are required to pass course requirements failure to complete or pass this course will result in student being reassigned to their home school. Please review the course syllabus, classroom rules and consequences, discuss it with your child and Sign or email me with the following statement.
“I have read the course syllabus, classroom rules and consequences with my child. This email is to acknowledge our understanding of the course syllabus, classroom rules and consequences. I _______________________________ (insert parent(s) and/or guardians name) can be reached at ___________________________________________________ (insert email) or by________________________ (insert phone number and specify work, home or cell number).
Please feel free to contact me anytime. Email is my preferred method of communication.
