Engineering Design is a year-long course that builds on introductory engineering concepts and focuses on applied, real-world problem solving. Students explore multiple engineering fields while developing skills in CAD, modeling, prototyping, and design. Through hands-on projects, presentations, and collaboration with business partners, students apply math, physics, and design principles to create and test solutions for authentic engineering challenges. 

Advanced Engineering & Design (Grades 11–12) is a capstone course in the Engineering Career Pathway that fulfills the UC “d” requirement. Students work collaboratively in teams to solve real-world technical problems, often in partnership with business and industry. Using the engineering design process, students research, design, build, test, and present solutions, while developing strong technical reading, writing, research, and presentation skills.
