Design & Fabrication I
Intended Audience: The Design and Fabrica-
tion course will be the first course all Tech Ed
CTE students will participate in. As such, it has
no prerequisite.
Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit
Major Outcomes:
• Students will be able to demonstrate basic
engineering design skills using CAD software.
• Students will demonstrate understanding
of the four career pathways and explore
one pathway in depth by designing and
fabricating a product in that pathway.
High School Registration Guide
• Students will demonstrate understanding
of the materials (properties and selection)
and processes used in product fabrication.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to cor-
rectly program/code CNC and 3D printing
equipment.
• Students will demonstrate the safety atti-
tudes and procedures required in the use
of fabrication materials and equipment.
• Students will experience and be able to
articulate the critical attributes of manufac-
turing careers needed to be successful in
MN businesses and industries.
Instructional Focus:
• This course will focus instruction on students
developing and then applying their knowl-
edge and skills in the design and fabrication
of a product. Students will be allowed to
choose the career pathway of focus.
• Students will also be expected to integrate
STEM and other content knowledge into
their product design and fabrication.
• This is an “application-based course” with
students demonstrating real-world applica-
tion of knowledge and skills in the use of
high-tech cutting-edge equipment, soft-
ware and materials.

vancing students’ knowledge and skills in
the design and fabrication of products.
Students will be allowed to choose the
career pathway of focus.
• Students will also be expected to integrate
STEM and other content knowledge into
their product design and fabrication.
• This is an “application-based course” with
students demonstrating real-world applica-
tion of knowledge and skills in the use of
high-tech cutting-edge equipment, soft-
ware and materials.
