Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is a foundational course in the Pathways to Engineering Program. The course explores the visual side of engineering design through the design process and its application. Students use hands-on projects to learn how to use 3D modeling software, reverse engineer a product, and develop original designs. Students will document their work in an engineering notebook and use 3D printing and other construction methods to help bring their designs to life. This course can be taken at honors or strong college-preparatory level. Honors weighting will be designated to students who 

successfully complete additional coursework. Students enrolled in this course are grouped heterogeneously, with Honors and non-honors students enrolled in the same section. This class is part of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Pathwa

Environmental Engineering uses an interdisciplinary approach to explore real-world issues in environmental science at local, state, national and global levels. Students will use experiments, projects, case studies, and current literature to study the ecological, societal, and economic impacts related to current environmental issues and develop the knowledge and skills needed to be informed citizens. Environmental challenges and opportunities needed to create a more sustainable society will be investigated. Environmental Issues-Energy and Resources will focus on such topics as Carbon Footprint, Renewable and Nonrenewable resources, Weather Events, Water resources and Global Climate Change, Civil Engineering and green construction, Transportation infrastructure, and Energy policy and Government. This course is part of the Clean Energy Pathway and part of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Pathway. Open to juniors and seniors. Sophomores in the Engineering Innovation Pathway may enroll in this course.

Suggested Prerequisites: An A- in Geometry and concurrently enrolled in Algebra II, or a B in Algebra II. Principles of Engineering (POE) is a survey course that exposes students to major concepts they will encounter in a post-secondary engineering course of study. Topics include mechanisms, energy, statics, materials, and kinematics. Students will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges, document their work and communicate solutions. This course can be taken at an honors or strong college-preparatory level. Honors weighting will be designated to students who successfully complete additional coursework. Students enrolled in this course are grouped heterogeneously, with Honors and non-honors students enrolled in the same section.This course is part of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Pathway. Open to sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Suggested Prerequisites: A in 342 Physics or A- in 321 Honors Chemistry, and teacher recommendation. This algebra-based physics course is recommended for highly motivated students, with an aptitude for the sciences and developed math skills. Students cultivate their understanding of Physics through inquirybased investigations as they explore topics such as Newtonian mechanics (including rotational motion); work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory, simple circuits with an overall emphasis on real-life problem solving. Students will keep a laboratory notebook detailing each experiment that they design and implement and will be expected to delve deeply into problem-solving. Students who have taken Physics may take AP Physics 1 as a second-year physics option. Enrollment in this course may require summer work to be completed on the part of the student. This course could be part of the Advanced Manufacturing Pathway. Open to juniors and seniors. Students taking this course are expected to take the College Board’s Advanced Placement exam in May.

Capstone or Internship (100-hrs) - Capstone takes place during senior year as a semester class (typically semester 2) OR internship with an industry partner term 4 of senior year.
