TE4X65S1 and TE4X65S2 Preview Video on Intro to Engineering Design PREREQUISITE: NoneGRADE: 9, 10, 11, 12LENGTH: Full Year, S1 and S2MEETS REQUIREMENT FOR: Elective OUT OF CLASS WORK: PeriodicallyFEE: None This course introduces students to engineering design. Students will learn about and apply the design process to solve real engineering problems. Students will learn to effectively document the solution to an engineering problem through sketching, modeling in three-dimensional CAD software, the creation of working drawings, and the use of a three-dimensional printer to create rapid prototypes.As students learn to solve engineering problems they will learn to apply many different elements of design (visual,functional and structural) to their solution, to work in teams to solve problems (including a virtual teaming activity with another school), and to analyze the effects of engineered products on society from an environmental and ethical standpoint. This course will be eligible for up to 3 college credits with successful course completion and mastery of the college credit end-of-the-year exam.
Principles of Engineering

The course allows students to explore various technology systems, engineering careers, and manufacturing processes. POE helps students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem solving process to benefit people everywhere. The course also includes an overview of social and politicalconsequences of technological development. This course prepares students for two or four-year college studies in engineering and engineering technology by exposing them to the true scope of the field.This course will be eligible for up to 3 college credits with successful course completion and mastery of the college credit end-of-the-year exam
PREREQUISITE: NoneGRADE: 9, 10, 11, 12LENGTH: Full Year, S1 and S2MEETS REQUIREMENT FOR: ElectiveOUT OF CLASS WORK: PeriodicallyFEE: NoneThis course propels students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. As they explore the physics of flight, students bring the concepts to life by designing an airfoil, propulsion system, and rockets. They learn basic orbital mechanics using industry-standard software.Students also explore robot systems through projects such as remotely operated vehicles. Aerospace Engineeringexplores the evolution of flight, navigation and control, flightfundamentals, aerospace materials, propulsion, space travel and orbital mechanics. This course will further augment the learning from the 8th grade Flight & Space course currently offered.
PREREQUISITE: NoneGRADE: 9, 10, 11, 12LENGTH: Full Year, S1 and S2MEETS REQUIREMENT FOR: Fine Arts ElectiveOUT OF CLASS WORK: PeriodicallyFEE: None This course introduces students to various aspects of civilengineering and architecture as they apply what they learn to the design and development of a property. The course provides freedom to the teacher and students to develop the property as a simulation, or to students to model the real-world experiences that civil engineers and architects experience when developing the property.The CEA course is intended to serve as a specialization course within the Project Lead the Waysequence. The course is structured to enable all students to have a variety of experiences that will provide an overview of both fields. Students work in teams, exploring hands-on projects and activities to learn the characteristics of civil engineering and architecture. In addition, students use Revit, which is a state-of-the-art 3-D design software package from AutoDesk, to help them design solutions to solve their major course project. Students learn about documenting theirproject, solving problems, and communicating their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community of civilengineering and architecture. This course will be eligible for up to 3 college credits with successful course completion and mastery of the college credit end-of-year exam. Studentscompleting the course will meet the arts credit requirement at EHS. Note: While not required, it is recommended thatstudents have completed an upper level science and/or math course before taking CEA.
Digital Electronics
TE4X69S1 and TE4X69S2 Preview Video on Digital Electronics PREREQUISITE: Advanced Algebra *GRADE: 9, 10, 11, 12LENGTH: Full Year, S1 and S2MEETS REQUIREMENT FOR: ElectiveOUT OF CLASS WORK: PeriodicallyFEE: NoneDigital Electronics is the study of electronic circuits that are used to process and control digital signals. In contrast toanalog electronics, where information is represented by acontinuously varying voltage, digital signals are represented by two discreet voltages or logic levels. This distinctionallows for greater signal speed and storage capabilities and has revolutionized the world of electronics. Digitalelectronics is the foundation of all modern electronicdevices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptopcomputers, digital cameras and high-definition televisions. The major focus of the DE course is to expose students to the process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards and technical documentation. This course will be eligible for up to 3 college credits with successful course completion and mastery of the college credit end-of-the-year exam.
