The course also includes concerns about social and political consequences of technological change.

IND5371- 5372 Honors Digital Electronics

Full Year 1 credit; Almond Campus: Grade 11Prerequisite: Successful completion of Principles of Engineering.
This course in applied logic encompasses the application of electronic circuits and devices. Computer simulation software is used to design and test digital circuitry prior to the actual construction of circuits and devices.

IND5471- 5472 Honors Engineering Design & Development

Full Year 1 credit; Almond Campus: Grade 12Prerequisite: Successful completion of Digital Electronics.
An engineering research course in which students research, design, and construct a solution to an open- ended engineering problem. Students apply principles developed in the three 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 school year.
