Engineering Essentials is the first of many Engineering classes offered by the WSD and LHS. It is one of two "foundations" courses offered through Project Lead the Way. Once a student completes one of the two offered "foundations" courses they are eligible to take more specialized electives such as Aerospace, Digital Electronics, Civil Engineering & Architecture, etc.
While in Engineering Essentials students are given the opportunities to learn the basics about Engineering. Everything in this class focuses on a Design Process. We use this process to work through real-life scenarios and problems. These problems and scenarios often have a finished tangible(touchable) product at the end that is designed while inside the classroom. Notable projects include; robotics, electricity, mapping, tsunami survival kit, etc.
