Introduction to Engineering Design is a fundamental pre-engineering course where students become familiar with the engineering design process. Students work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using industry standard sketches and current 3D design and modeling software to represent and communicate solutions. Students apply their knowledge through hands-on projects and document their work with the use of an engineering notebook. Students begin with completing structured activities and move to solving open-ended projects and problems that require them to develop planning, documentation, communication, and other professional skills. Ethical issues related to professional practice and product development are also presented. 

• Required Prerequisites: none                                                                                                             •     Recommended Prerequisites: none

• Counts as a directed elective or elective for all diplomas

Principles of Engineering focuses on applying engineering, technological, scientific and mathematical principles in the design, production, and operation of products, structures, and systems. This is a hands-on course to provide students interested in engineering careers experiences related to fields such as civil, mechanical and materials engineering. Students will engage in research, development, planning, design, production and project management to simulate an engineering career. Ethics and the impacts of engineering decisions are also addressed. Class activities are organized to allow students to work in teams and use modern technological processes, computers, CAD software and production systems in developing and presenting solutions to engineering problems. 

• Required Prerequisites:  Introduction to Engineering Design                                                      •     Recommended Prerequisites: none

• Counts as a directed elective or elective for all diplomas

• Fulfills a science course requirement for all diplomas

• Qualifies as a quantitative reasoning course

Digital Electronics is a course of study in applied digital logic that encompasses the design and application of electronic circuits and devices found in video games, watches, calculators, digital cameras, and thousands of other devices. Instruction includes the application of engineering and scientific principles as well as the use of Boolean algebra to solve design problems. Using computer software that reflects current industry standards, activities should provide opportunities for students to design, construct, test, and analyze simple and complex digital circuitry software will be used to develop and evaluate the product design. This course engages students in critical thinking and problem-solving skills, time management and teamwork skills. 

• Required Prerequisites: Introduction to Engineering Design                                                       •     Recommended Prerequisites: none

• Counts as a directed elective or elective for all diplomas

• Qualifies as a quantitative reasoning course

Engineering Design and Development is an engineering research course in which students work in teams to research, design, test, and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem. The product development life cycle and a design process are used to guide the team to reach a solution to the problem. The team and/or individual(s)communicates their solution to a panel of stakeholders at the conclusion of the course. As the capstone course in the Engineering Pathway, EDD engages students in critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, and teamwork skills. 

• Required Prerequisites: Introduction to Engineering Design; Principles of Engineering Design; Civil Engineering and Architecture

• Recommended Prerequisites: none

• Counts as a directed elective or elective for all diplomas

• Qualifies as a quantitative reasoning course

IMPORTANT!!!

The Principles, Concentrator A, and Concentrator B courses are all required to meet the CTE graduation pathway requirement.

If a student completes all four courses and earns the required dual credit, they should be eligible for a Technical Certificate from Ivy Tech in that pathway. 

THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE COMPLETED!
