Teacher and Course Information

Mr. Jeff Canion
Engineering

Aloha!

My name is Jeff Canion and I moved to Hilo in 2004. I am not a teacher by profession but I do have some teaching experience at the post secondary level where I taught part-time engineering technology classes in the evening. I was employed as a Design Engineer and Engineering Manager/Director for several Silicon Valley companies; Advanced Micro Devices, Cypress Semiconductor, Ricoh Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric to name a few. I have worked in the engineering sector for over 23 years.

Course Overview

The intent of the electives in the engineering pathway is to expose students to pre-engineering principles and concepts that are commonly practiced in the industry.

Engineering & Design I provides an introduction to the following fields: Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Civil, Structural, Robotics and Architectural. Since all pre-engineering fields require and involve basic electrical theory and engineering mechanics; Statics and Dynamics we spend close to a full quarter in design/simulation and prototyping of simple circuits, structures and systems.

Engineering & Design II students begin to design intermediate systems based on the principles learned from Engineering & Design I.
CAD I Students learn AutoCAD to design Architectural, Structural, Civil, Electrical/Electronic and Mechanical drawings.

CAD II Students design advanced structures selected from the various engineering fields. 3D modeling and redendering of structures is continued in more detail. SoftPlan Architectural Design software is introduced to students interested in becoming architect.

Cross-technology trainer stations are used for both E & D I & II and are key, this allows students to discover, explore and design in multiple disciplines. A foundation in math and sciences are helpful as the student will learn that these tools are the essential passport to the engineering field.

Continue to guide and inspire students as they begin to develop. My goal is to ensure that all students that journey this way experience and discover an over-view of what the engineering industry has to offer and the choices they are entitled t

Education and Background Experience

I have degrees in Applied Engineering (BS) and Computer Engineering (MS) , I am currently pursuing another technology degree that is ABET sanctioned and accredited thru Excelsior College of New York (Albany).

Interest & Hobbies

Windsurfing, scuba/free diving, snowboarding, long-boarding, and supporting/watching my nieces perform at mainland Tahitian fetes. I also teach windsurfing, martial arts, and jazz guitar.
