Engineering Essentials

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.
