Introduction to Engineering Design
Grade 9
Semester / ½ credit
Engineers make a world of difference! 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. Are you ready to design the future?
Fee - No

Honors Engineering Design & Development Capstone
Grade 12
Year / 1 credit
The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout the Engineering Pathway come
together in EDD come together in EDD. Students will be working through an
engineering design challenge as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Students apply the professional skills they have developed to document a design process to standards, ready to take on any post-secondary program or career. A graphing calculator in the TI- Family (i.e. Ti-83+, Ti-84 color) is required.
This course receives weighted grading of 5.0 on a 4.0 scale.
Fee - No
Prerequisite: Applied Engineering Principles or and either have completed or concurrently enrolled in Aerospace Engineering, Digital Electronics, or AP Computer Science Principles AND instructor approval through the application process.
