“In a small way human creative hands imitate this profusion of God, going beyond the minimum requirements of getting the job done. Creative hands are not content to spread on the frosting; they must make a tasteful arrangement of swirls and colour. They don’t just apply a coat of varnish; they polish the surface until it glows like satin. Creative hands do more than plant seeds; they place them in a tasteful and eye-pleasing garden arrangement.” LeRoy Koopman
Overview
Students in Engineering Design are immersed in the creative process of solving problems by identifying needs and then developing solutions. Depending on the problem, the solution may be a product, technique, structure, process or a combination of multiple elements. This course is intended to stimulate student’s ingenuity, creative and critical thinking and practical skills in devising solutions to engineering design problems. Students use the engineering design process to investigate, design, plan, test, produce and eveluate solutions. Students will be challenged to break problems down into smaller parts, taking risks and playing with their own ideas. The Engineering elective is a practical course which provides opportunities for students to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in relations to general engineering concepts. Students will explore broad topics in Electrical, Structural and Software engineering.

“The Lord said to Moses, “See I have chosen Bezalel and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts – to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab to help him. Also I have given skills to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you.” Exodus31:1
