Students explore engineering career opportunities as they solve real-world problems like creating a natural relief center system or improving the safety and well-being of local citizens. Students with demonstrated experience in STEAM courses or engineering may skip to Introduction to Engineering Design.

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects like designing a new toy or improving an existing product. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3-D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document their work. Students with prior demonstrated learning in engineering courses can skip Engineering Essentials to take this course. Students may qualify for Dual Credit through PLTW.

Students explore engineering topics including mechanisms, strength of structure and materials, and automation, and then apply what they know to challenges like designing a self-powered car. Students develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design process documentation, collaboration, and presentation. Students may qualify for Dual Credit through PLTW.

Using Python® as a primary tool, students explore career paths that utilize computing, discover tools that foster creativity and collaboration, and tackle challenges like app development and simulation. This course is endorsed by College Board, giving the opportunity to take the AP Computer Science Principles exam for college credit.

Students learn the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. They explore the physics of flight by designing an airfoil, propulsion system, and rockets. They learn orbital mechanics using industry-standard software. They also explore robot systems and ROVs.

From smartphones to appliances, digital circuits are all around us. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices.

Students identify a real-world challenge and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their unique solutions to a panel of experts. This is a capstone course that highlights students learning over the program.
