Engineering Course Types

CP Engineering Classes: 

College Preparatory (CP) engineering classes are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering principles and skills. These classes emphasize understanding core concepts and applying them to solve real-world problems. CP classes are ideal for students who want to build their knowledge step-by-step, as the pace and level of difficulty are balanced to suit a wide range of learners. They focus on practical applications and preparing students for further studies in engineering or related fields.

Honors Engineering Classes:

Honors engineering classes are tailored for students seeking a more rigorous and advanced academic experience. These courses go beyond the standard curriculum, diving deeper into complex topics and challenging students with more intensive problem-solving and critical-thinking opportunities. The workload is heavier, and the pace is faster compared to CP classes. Additionally, Honors classes are weighted with a GPA multiplier of 1.1, rewarding students for the increased difficulty and effort required. Some Honors engineering courses also follow the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) program, providing students with hands-on, project-based learning experiences aligned with industry standards and practices. These classes are suited for motivated learners aiming to excel and prepare for competitive college programs.
