Introduction to Engineering Design  Course 1 (Grades 9-10) 

The major focus of the course is learning how to take an idea through a design process that will eventually be manufactured or produced. As you learn about various aspects of engineering and engineering design, such as how engineers communicate through drawing, you will apply what you learn through various activities, projects, and problems. For Example, after learning about the different techniques engineers use in determining how to design a product, you and your teacher will have the flexibility to explore the design and engineering processes to solve problems that are of interest to you. The course covers the following: The Role of an Engineer, The Design, the Design Process, Product Design, Product Analysis and Improvement, and Designing as an Engineer

Principles of Engineering  Course 2 (Grades 10-11)

Principles of Engineering (POE) is a high school-level survey course of engineering. The course exposes students to some of the major concepts that they will encounter in a postsecondary engineering course of study. Students have an opportunity to investigate engineering and high-tech careers POE gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity, project, and problem-based (APPB) learning. Used in combination with a teaming approach, APPB learning challenges students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and problem-solving skill based upon engineering concepts. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning, which is the ultimate goal of education.

The prerequisite for this course is IED 

Aerospace Engineering  (Grade 10-12)

Aerospace Engineering (AE) is the study of the engineering discipline which develops new technologies for use in aviation, defense system, and space exploration. The course explores the evolution of flight, flight fundamentals, navigation, and control. aerospace materials, propulsion, space travel, orbital mechanics, ergonomics, remotely operated systems, and related careers. In addition, the course presents alternative applications for aerospace engineering concepts. Utilizing the activity-project-problem-based (APPB) teaching and learning pedagogy, students will analyze, design, and build aerospace systems. While implementing these designs, students will continually hone their interpersonal skills, creativity, and application of the design process. Students apply knowledge gained throughout the course in a final multimedia project to envision their future professional.

The prerequisite for this course is POE
