Engineering

Translate ideas from designs, specifications, rough sketches, and calculations of engineers and architects into working drawings, maps, plans, and illustrations that are used in making products! Create 3D computer models and 2D drawings using computer‐aided design and drafting (CADD) and 3D modeling systems! Perform design and drafting work in mechanical, electrical/electronic, structural, architectural, civil, piping, and technical illustration fields. 3D Print your own designs!

Pathway Courses

Course 1 — Foundations of Engineering and Technology

A STEM driven course provides the students with an overview of engineering and technology including the different methods used in the engineering design process developing fundamental technology and engineering literacy. Students will demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have learned through various project based activities while using an engineering design process to successfully master the “E” in STEM.

Course 2 — Engineering Concepts

Students will learn to design technical solutions to engineering problems using a whole systems approach to engineering design. Students will demonstrate the application of mathematical tools, teamwork, and communications skills in solving various design challenges, while maintaining a safe work environment.

Course 3 — Engineering Applications

Students will apply their knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to develop solutions to technological problems. Solutions will be developed using a combination of engineering software and prototype production processes. Students will use market research, cost benefit analysis, and an understanding of the design cycle to create and present design, marketing, and business plans for their solutions.
