PREREQUISITE: Introduction to Engineering Technology

This course affords students the opportunity to apply science, math, and communication skills in the design, testing, and construction of one or more major projects.  The course is designed as a continuation of Introduction to Engineering Technology where students will expand and refine their problem-solving skills, as well as explore more complex aspects of engineering.  Students work in multidisciplinary teams on activities that develop problem solving and creative thinking skills.  Representative activities may include designing, building, programming and testing robotic devices; designing and building machines to compete against each other in competitions; and opportunities to work with industry professionals on advanced projects. 

Students may opt to take more than one semester of Engineering Technology.  Students who do so will be expected to work on more complex projects in a wider variety of engineering fields.
