ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES

Course Description:

This curriculum is developed for high school students to help them understand more fully what the field of engineering is, the various opportunities available in the field, and the connection between their high school courses and future study of engineering. The pre-engineering courses are designed to be hands-on and engaging. Students will also learn STEM skills (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) as they use the latest technology to complete course assignments.
