Faculty of Engineering Secondary School

Two teens in a lab

 

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ottawa is proud to announce that it will begin offering high school summer courses as of July 2018!

The Exploring Technological Design course (TDJ1O) is an open course that is offered to students who will have just completed grade 8, 9, or 10. Students enrolled in this course will gain hands-on design experience right at the Faculty of Engineering.

Courses

Each half-course is two weeks long and can be taken in any order (Part 2 can be taken before Part 1). Students who successfully complete both half-courses will gain a full credit toward their secondary school diploma (each half-course is worth 0.5 credits).  

This exploratory course introduces students to concepts and skills related to technological design, which involves the development of solutions to various design challenges and the fabrication of models or prototypes of those solutions. Students will develop an awareness of related environmental and societal issues, and will begin to explore secondary and postsecondary pathways leading to careers in the field.

  • Exploring Technological Design - Part 1 (TDJ1O1) will have a strong focus on 3D modelling, 3D drawing, and 3D printing.
  • Exploring Technological Design - Part 2 (TDJ1O2) will focus more on engineering drawings and laser cutting.

Please note that this course will be offered solely in English at this time, but that French support is available.
