Engineering

Engineering Design – Project Lead The Way (Grades 9-12: 1 Credit/2 Semesters)  This course introduces students to the design process and the tools used in product development. Students will experience first‐hand the activities in  which engineers engage throughout the design cycle. Development of design briefs, sketching, 3D solid modeling, and prototyping through computer‐ aided drafting are part of the course. Students will have the opportunity to learn ways in which design techniques apply to many fields, such as  healthcare, business, art and animation, manufacturing, engineering, etc. Problem‐solving and math as it applies to producing products and services  for today’s society are emphasized. (Dual/transcripted credit is offered by Milwaukee School of Engineering [MSOE] with transfer possibilities to other  colleges and universities.)

This course is the prerequisite for Principles of Engineering

Principles of Engineering – Project Lead The Way- ES (Grades 10-12: 1 Credit/2 Semesters)  Students will experience engineering and design technology and use various technological systems and manufacturing processes that demonstrate  ways in which engineers and technicians use math, science and technology to benefit people. This course will be a mix of hands‐on and academic  activities including computer aided design projects, research activities, case studies, team product development, and discussions on the social and  political consequences of technological change. (Dual/transcripted credit is offered by Milwaukee School of Engineering [MSOE] with transfer  possibilities to other colleges and universities.) 

Engineering Essentials – Project Lead The Way- ES (Grades 9-12: 1 Credit/2 Semesters)  Explore the breadth of engineering career opportunities and experiences as they solve engaging and challenging real-world problems like creating a natural relief center system or creating a solution to improve the safety and well-being of local citizens.
