** Course Number and Title ** ** 21.022007-1 Introduction to Invention and Innovation (Abbreviated) ** ** Credit Hours ** No credit Hours ** Course Description ** ** The purpose of this course is to introduce students who did not attend A. R. Johnson Health Science and Engineering Magnet School in their 7th grade year to the basic parts of systems and a general overview of the Engineering Design Process as it is applied in the several engineering disciplines. Students are encouraged to utilize critical thinking, problem solving and decision making skills. Students will be provided with teamwork elements and procedures. Students will also be exposed to benefits and problems created by the use of technology and engineering. **  **Faculty contact information ** Email: Johnssa2@rcboe.org Skype: Sandrajohnson397 Phone: 706-495-1212 Office hours are from 8:00a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Monday, Thursday and Friday. **Learning Outcomes and Objectives ** By the end of this course students will be able to: 1. Understand the definitions of technology, engineering, systems, invention, and innovation as they pertain to the engineering design process. 2. Display the ability to apply the Engineering Design Process to a problem. 3. Formulate and discern the difference between benefits and problems associated with the use of technology. 4. Apply the concepts of team work and team building applications **Course resources, texts, web links ** 1. Engineering Go For It Magazine [] []
