ENGINEERING PATHWAY

INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN (#CTE5600)

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document their work.

Credit: 1
Grade Placement: 9-10
Prerequisites: Introduction to Engineering Design assumes a student has successfully completed Algebra I or is concurrently enrolled in the course.
Tier 3 class of 2022; On-Level class of 2023 and beyond.

Engineering Science (#CTE5601)

Engineering Science is an engineering course designed to expose students to some of the major concepts and technologies that they will encounter in a postsecondary program of study in any engineering domain. Students will have an opportunity to investigate engineering and high-tech careers. In Engineering Science, students will employ science, technology, engineering, and mathematical concepts in the solution of real-world challenge situations. Students will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges. Students will also learn how to document their work and communicate their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community.
