Concord, NH - August 20, 2002 - Tech Ed Concepts, Inc. (TEC), a full-service 3D design and manufacturing technology provider for educators and students, in cooperation with CADKEY Corp., recently awarded engineering students who attended the 2002 St. Paul's School Advanced Studies Program (ASP) with one seat of CADKEY® and the CADKEY 19 Cookbook by Jerry Kuhn. The St. Paul's School ASP engineering course introduces students to the field of engineering as a profession. Through readings, field trips, and guest speakers, students are introduced to the accomplishments of professional engineers and acquire an understanding of the different fields of study within engineering. This year, students were exposed to topics in several of these fields including mechanical, chemical, electrical, and civil engineering. In five weeks, the course introduced students to basic drafting, module internal combustion engines, electronics, circuitry and introductory level computer programming. A final project involved creating an amphibious vehicle based upon the skills and principles of engineering they had learned during the program. A competition was held at the end of the five weeks, and was judged by instructors, teaching assistants, and professionals from industry. Richard Amarosa, President of TEC participated as a judge of the students' final project. He stated, "As a former educator, it is exciting to witness the involvement and interest of the ASP students exploring the field of engineering. I'm pleased that TEC is able to provide them with the commercial CAD software used by such corporations as Nike and Boeing to assist them in their future decisions about becoming engineers." Since 1958 St. Paul's School has welcomed some of the state's top high school juniors, as well as college interns from throughout the United States to be part of this challenging residential program. The Advanced Studies Program is a five-week intensive academic summer program for New Hampshire public and parochial high school students. Students take one major course that meets for 20 hours per week as well as a writing workshop that meets for four hours per week.
