Engineering Principles 1 & 2
Engineering Principles is a full-year project and experience based course designed to introduce students to the various fields of engineering. Students will gain an understanding of what engineers do and how their courses in high school are important preparation for entering the field of engineering. Students will be introduced to the engineering design cycle, as well as each of seven fields of engineering (Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer Science, Electrical, Materials, and Mechanical). Within each field of study students will explore career opportunities, how the field of engineering affects and benefits daily life and complete projects/activities that will solidify the students understanding of the field, as well as the underlying math and science involved. Emphasis is placed on the need for engineers to have good written and oral communication skills.
