You will learn: the Role of an Engineer, the Design Process, Product Design, Product Analysis and Improvement, and Designing as an Engineer. You will use Inventor, which is a state of the art 3-D design software package from AutoDesk, to help you design. Companion course with Engineering Projects 1.
Companion course with Introduction to Engineering. Students will engage in hands on learning of engineering technologies and the design process. Student teams will design, document, and build a culminating project to be presented at the Engineering Fair.
Students explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, strength of structures and materials, and automation. Develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning documentation, collaboration, and presentation. Companion course with Engineering Projects 2.
Companion course with Principles of Engineering. Student teams design, document, and build projects in mechanical systems, robotic systems, energy systems. Project process and management, and team collaboration are emphasized. Student teams will participate in a culminating design challenge to be presented at the Engineering Fair.
This course is for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students study combinational and sequential logic and circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and PLD's.
This course propels students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. As they explore the physics of flight, students design an airfoil, propulsion system, rockets, basic orbital mechanics and robotic systems. Take your first simulator flight! Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra 2 recommended but not required.
Students will work through the complete design process utilizing Arduino, 3D printing, laser cutting and 3D modeling software. They will spend the year working as a team to design a functional project, utilizing their Digital Electronics skills, that will be presented at the Engineering Fair.
Self-directed mentored student teams identify a project that will have a positive impact on our community and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers, as well as at the Engineering Fair.
This course focuses on advanced algebraic concepts, properties of functions and their transformations, and conics. Applications from the sciences and engineering will be emphasized. A graphing calculator is strongly recommended. Prerequisite: C or higher in Geometry.
