Credit: CTE, 3rd year science WSU ENGR 1000 2 credits
Fee: $10, WSU CE fee
Comments:
Description: This course provides an overview of engineering and engineering technology. Students develop problem-solving skills by tackling real-world engineering problems. Through theory and practical hand-on experiences, students address the emerging social and political consequences of technological change.
Digital electronics (84430)
Taught at WICGrade: 10,11,12
Length: Semester (2-hour block @ WIC)
Credit: CTE, 3rd year science WSU EET 1110 2 credits, WSU EET 1130 4 credits
Fee: $10, WSU CE fee
Comments:
Description: Automation is beginning to replace human labor. Those who do not learn how to control robots, may someday work for one, or worse, be replaced by one. This course teaches students how to take their own ideas and to develop them into electronic circuits that can automate processes and applications used in robots, cell phones, video games, toasters, vending machines, and thousands of other computerized devices. This course is different than computer programming in that it utilizes computer hardware and software to accomplish tasks (rather than focusing on software only). Students will develop ideas, covert those ideas into equations, develop those equations into prototypes that have real world value and marketability.
Robotics and Automation (84440)
Taught at WICGrade: 10,11,12
Length: Semester (2-hour block @ WIC)
Credit: CTE
Fee: $10
Comments:
Description: This course teaches the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. It builds on the solid-modeling skills developed in the I.E.D. course. Students use 3-D computer software to solve design problems. They assess their solutions through mass propriety analysis (the relationship of design, function and materials), modify their designs, and use prototyping equipment to produce 3-D models.

engineering design & development (84470)
Taught at WICGrade: 12
Length: Semester (2-hour block @ WIC)
Credit: CTE, WSU PDD 2830 3 credits
Fee: WSU CE fee
Comments: Fall semester only
Description: An engineering research course in which students work in teams to research, design and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem. Students apply principles developed in the four preceding courses and are guided by a community mentor. They must present progress reports, submit a final written report and defend their solutions to a panel of outside reviewers at the end of the course.
