May not be held every year because of enrollment numbers.
Engineering Capstone is an extensive project based course intended to build on students’ understanding of engineering and to give them greater experience with open-ended engineering design. Students, working in teams, will complete 2 design projects, beginning with an assigned project to be entered into the State TSA competition and culminating with a project of their choosing. Each project will include a portfolio addressing project justification, research, design requirements, design concept generation, STEM principles fundamental to the project, prototype construction and testing, data collection and analysis, external expert review and recommendations for further work. Students who successfully complete this course will gain valuable engineering design skills that will prepare them for more advanced study of engineering.
The following state standards are applicable to this course (See attached documents if the link is broken)
