Introduction to Engineering Design
Grade: 9-11 Length of Course: Year
Description: Students are introduced to the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to identify and design solutions to a variety of real problems. They work both individually and in collaborative teams to develop and document design solutions using engineering notebooks and 3D modeling software.
-
Robotics Engineering
Grade: 10-12 Length of Course: Year
Description: Robotics courses develop and expand students’ skills and knowledge so that they can design and develop robotic devices. Topics covered in the course may include mechanics, electrical and motor controls, pneumatics, computer basics, and programmable logic controllers.
-
Principles of Engineering
Grade: 10-12 Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering Design, concurrent enrollment in college preparatory math and science. Length of Course: Year
Description: Through problems that engage and challenge, students explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, the strength of materials and structures, automation, and motion. Students develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design process documentation, collaboration, and presentation. This rigorous course using applied physics is intended to prepare students for engineering education at the college level.

Material Science and Technology: Metals
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Course
Grade: 11-12 Prerequisite: Biology I Length of Course: Semester
Description: This course involves the study of solid matter. Five major units of study form the basis of the MST course: solids, metals, ceramics/glass, polymers (plastic), and composites. We will study the properties, design, and manufacturing of each major solid category. A heavy hands-on, lab based approach is used in this class. Learning will involve working in small groups, writing as a means of learning, participating in demonstrations and activities, using community experts in materials, showing videos, and using a large variety of written resources including current event articles.
