Engineering Design
Designed for students interested in the various disciplines of engineering, this pathway will provide students with the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and understanding of engineering concepts. Students then apply these skills in conjunction with the multi-step engineering design process to solve real-world problems. This includes instruction in two dimensional and/or three-dimensional engineering design software, solid modeling, and engineering animation to solve real-world problems.
