PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS

Participants must be recognized by the presiding officer and must preface their comments by an announcement of their name, address, and group affiliation, if appropriate. Statements made by participants may be limited to one statement not longer than five (5) minutes in duration. All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer; no participant may address or question Board members individually. After visitors have been heard and the Board has begun its deliberations on an item of business, no comments or questions shall be permitted from the floor. Visitors may be tempted to make a suggestion, voice disagreement, or ask for clarification, but the Board cannot carry on an orderly discussion if the deliberative body is suddenly to be enlarged to include those who have come to observe. The Board is the only legitimate "citizens committee," since only Board members are the duly elected representatives of all the citizens of the District. The Board, through its presiding officer, shall maintain control of all meetings and shall not release control to any individual or groups during any part of any meeting for any reason. The presiding officer, may exercise discretion in recognizing any visitors at a public meeting to make brief comments. The presiding officer may interrupt or terminate a participant's statement when the statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant and may: 1. Request any individual to leave the meeting if that person does not observe reasonable

decorum. 2. Request the assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person

when that person's conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting. 3. Call for a recess or an adjournment to another time when the lack of public decorum so

interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting as to warrant such action. No placards or banners will be permitted within the meeting room or on school grounds without prior approval. (The above are excerpts from EASD Board Policy 903, Public Participation in Board Meetings, which can be found in full in the EASD Board Policy Manual.)

NEW COURSE RECOMMENDATION FORM Elizabethtown Area School District

Course Title Inventions and Innovations Level H.S. Grade 11-12 Course Description: This course covers aspects of contemporary industrial engineering in a research and development setting. Through the use of computer 3-D solids creation, students will create production quality prototypes (PQP) through innovative methods. Students will utilize advanced concepts of design to manufacture inventions and innovations using various CAD/CAM systems, computer numerical controlled systems (CNC), 3D printing and laser cutting. It provides students with an advanced perspective of CAD/CAM computer software, mathematical applications through geometry and trigonometry to invent and innovate products by means of advanced manufacturing processes and systems. Various projects and activities will include designing two and three-dimensional part/systems using CAD/CAM software program for direct to manufacture from a 3D printer, manufacture molds for innovative products, and other common CNC applications. An advanced understanding of CADD operations and concepts and mathematical reasoning is highly recommended. A moderate lab fee is required. Student Selected Weighted Option – 1.10 Course Skill Objectives:

• Successfully use the program Autodesk AutoCAD and Inventor (or other technical drafting/drawing computer program) to create working drawings, models, and functional prototypes

• Apply the use of a 3D printer to print out working prototypes. • Apply the use of a CNC router or mill to manufacture molds for prototyping. • Create sets of engineering drawings for prototypes and proposed systems. • Create  and  design  new  innovative  products,  invent  new  products.  •    Apply  accurate  measurement  knowledge  to  solve  engineering  problems.  •    Identify  several  problems  and  opportunities  that  exist  in  your  community,  

apply  various  problem-­‐solving  methods  to  design  and  evaluate  possible  solutions.  

•    Describe  the  component  parts  and  operations  of  a  specific  CADD,  mechanical  or  industrial  systems  or  parts.  

Course Knowledge Objectives:

• Evaluate the interrelationship of various engineering and systems in the world, community, and daily life and how the design of these systems was created.

• Utilize decision-making strategies commonly used by industrial designers and engineers.

• Analyze and use the technological design process to solve problems. • Assess  and  predict  the  impacts  that  CADD  systems  have  on  engineering  and  

architecture  that  affect  the  economy,  society,  &  environment  by  balancing  multiple  constraints  and  providing  trade-­‐offs.  

• Identify  and  explain  the  impacts  that  engineered  and  architectural  systems  have  on  economics,  society  &  environment.

• Describe  the  component  parts  and  operations  of  a  specific  CADD,  architectural  or  engineered  system.  Including  but  not  limited  to  industrial  design  and  mechanical  engineering.

Rationale for Offering the Course: The primary purpose of technology and engineering education is to provide technological literacy. Technology Education at the high school level should provide a foundation for understanding, using, assessing, and managing technology through a broad variety of real world contexts designed to achieve academic standards in grades 9-12. In addition, their needs to be a variety of opportunities designed within the technology education course offerings to fit the unique needs of Elizabethtown’s diverse student population. Currently, the department has identified a need for an industrial design and mechanical engineering capstone course. With the addition of Invention and Innovation, we will be able to offer a broader variety of technological literacy to students interested in these particular technological career areas. Invention and Innovation is a course designed to foster mastery-level problem-solving skills. Although students may not become engineers or industrial designers, they do need problem solving skills for life in the technologically complex twenty-first century. This course would include mostly high school junior and seniors who do intend to continue their education in mathematics, sciences, or engineering at the post-secondary level, two year technical or four-five year baccalaurate degree. This course is intended for highly focused students who have indicated an interest in a career in industrial design, mechanical engineering, or product design. These findings and recommendations are also identified within our current curriculum research report and the department’s scope and sequence chart. Group II (1.10 weighted) Option As a way to differentiate instruction and student learning we would like to provide students with a weighted course option with increased rigor to develop one's higher order thinking skills in and out of the classroom. Outside classroom work (50%) will be based upon student selecting one of the "Grand Design Challenges" identified by engineers. Students will need to communicate their design solutions through a engineering design portfolio, technical research report, and oral presentation to class or experts in the field.

This weighted option will combine rigorous STEM academics and real world application of learning through a thematic interdisclipinary approach. (Courses that will have a weighted option will be Inventions and Innovations, Engineering Design, & Architectural Design) Anticipated Textbooks or Resource Materials to be used:

Rationale for Offering the Course: As the PULSE Team worked together, we recognized that there is a need for students to be able to function in a more holistic, cross-curricular, focused atmosphere. It is this type of environment, where students will work not only with the others in their classroom, but with students in three other classrooms where the focus is to solve a real world problem by collaboration with others with different knowledge and skills sets related to the problem that is the focus of each theme, that we will create in order to give our students the advantage of having interactions across discipline and across grade level, with all focused on the same theme. The expected outcome being students who are more prepared to “live, learn and thrive in a global community” - a true STEM course Anticipated Textbooks or Resource Materials to be used:
