Engineering
Introduction Class - Foundations of Engineering & Technology
Foundations of Engineering is the first course in the Engineering and Technology pathway. This course covers the History & Evolution of Engineering, the Engineering Design Process, and the application of S.T.E.M. to solve real-world problems. Students will develop employability skills through research and project-based learning activities. Students will demonstrate and adhere to safety, health and environmental standards related to STEM workplaces. Foundations of Engineering provides an introductory look at becoming an Engineer or Engineering Technician. Upon completion of all three courses in the Engineering and Technology pathway, students will have the opportunity to take an End of Pathway Assessment.
Second Level Class - Engineering Concepts
Engineering Concepts is the second course in the Engineering and Technology pathway. This course covers CAD systems, societal impacts of social media and technology on the field of Engineering as well as reinforcing foundational skills from the first Engineering course in the pathway. Students will demonstrate the application of mathematical tools, teamwork, and communications skills in solving various design challenges, while maintaining a safe work environment. Engineering Concepts provides an advanced look at becoming a practicing Engineer or Engineering technician. Upon completion of all three courses in the Engineering and Technology pathway, students will have the opportunity to take an End of Pathway Assessment.
Third Level Class - Engineering Applications
Engineering Applications is the third and final course in the Engineering and Technology pathway. This course covers the application of STEM, the use of CAD systems, and prototype production processes. Students will use market research, cost benefit analysis, and an understanding of the design cycle to create marketing and business plans for their solutions. Applications students will prepare a final Capstone presentation to highlight and reflect on their knowledge. Engineering applications provides a real-world look at becoming a practicing Engineer or Engineering Technician. Upon completion of all three courses in the Engineering and Technology pathway, students will have the opportunity to take an End of Pathway Assessment.
