PROGRAM COURSES
11th Grade
Level I: Honors Aerospace Engineering
This course will introduce students to the evolution of flight, navigation and control, flight fundamentals, aerospace materials, propulsion, space travel, and orbital mechanics. Students will learn and apply principles of aerospace design and construction to aircraft, rockets and spacecraft. In this course engineering standards will be reinforced along with employability skills. Unique problem solving projects such as those sponsored by NASA will be used as a tool to instruct classroom activities. Students may also have the opportunity to tour local colleges and companies.
Level I:
Honors Manufacturing Operations
Students will learn about different processes found on a production line in a manufacturing setting and learn how these technologies overlap to create automated systems to mass produce products found in local manufacturing facilities. Using self-paced hands-on trainers, students will learn about Basic Electrical Concepts, Computer Aided Design, Robotics, Quality Control, Pneumatic Systems, Injection Molding Systems and Mechanical Systems. Students will demonstrate their knowledge through PowerPoint presentations.
12th Grade
Level II: Honors Robotics
Students will apply the knowledge and skills necessary to program and operate robots, using the teach pendant as the main interface point. The students will learn robotic operations and system configurations. Students will code, compile, and debug programs using the robotic programming language.
Level II: Honors DC Electronics
Students will learn the fundamental principles of electricity with emphasis on DC (direct current) circuits. They will use concepts of Ohm’s Law, the Power Formula, and Kirchoff’s Laws with series, parallel, and series-parallel circuit applications. The relationship between electricity and magnetism and motor theory will also be introduced. The students will use and maintain digital multimeters and oscilloscopes.
Engineering Applications 2 9-12
Not Offered in 2025-2026
Engineering Applications 2 is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career in engineering and/or design. Students involved should have an interest in math and sciences. Students will interact with each other and will be challenged to break through normal thinking skills with project-based learning. Students will also explore the following areas: electrical engineering, alternative energy engineering, and structural engineering through design and prototyping of projects completed in class.
