MLKHS Engineering Courses
Engineering Pathways Flyer (4) (1).pdfYear 1 Students may only take one course and that is pre-selected for them. They must take Introduction to Engineering Design to learn the basics of drawing and AutoCAD software.
Year 2 Students must complete Principles of Engineering Design to learn about the inner workings of simple machines, robotics, thermodynamics, introduction to circuits, introduction to architecture, introduction to coding, trigonometric applications, chemistry, and physics concepts (STEM).
Year 3 Students are encouraged to take two engineering courses, but Digital Electronics should be one of them.
Digital Electronics & Computer Integrated Manufacturing
Digital Electronics & Civil Engineering and Architecture
Computer Integrated Manufacturing & Civil Engineering and Architecture (Option if DE is taken in year 4).
Year 4 Students are advised to take two courses. The Engineering Design and Development Course is a cumulative course that will require students to know the basics of electronic components to invent or innovate a design.
Engineering Design and Development has Digital Electronics as a prerequisite.
