will complete a hands-on, problem solving activity by the end of the course.
Students completing two ½ credits or 1 full credit in this pathway will fulfill
the Fine Arts requirement for graduation.
8394 ENGINEERING APPLICATION
Semester Credit ½ Grades 9-12 Est. $20
Engineering Applications is designed for students who are interested in
pursuing a career in engineering and/or design. Students involved should
have an interest in math and sciences. Students will interact with each
other and will be challenged to break through normal thinking skills
with project-based learning. Students will also explore the following
areas: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and structural
engineering through design and prototyping of projects completed in class.
Students completing two ½ credits or 1 full credit in this pathway will fulfill
the Fine Arts requirement for graduation.
8398 COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD)
Semester Credit .5 Grades 9-12 Est. $20
This course is an introduction to the field of Computer Aided Design
and is recommended as the second course in technical sketching
and drawing (see Engineering Design). Students enrolled should
have an interest in math and sciences. This course will introduce
the first software package from the CAD ACADEMY curriculum
as well as a wide variety of technologies relating to engineering,
product design, and development. Classroom activities will be
focused around geometric design as students learn how to operate
basic functions of the software. This course will also require
students to complete problem-solving projects relating to course
material. Students completing two ½ credits or 1 full credit in
this pathway will fulfill the Fine Arts requirement for graduation.
INTRODUCTION TO ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Semester Credit .5 Grades 9-12 Est. Fee $20
This course is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career
in engineering. One major objective of this course is for students to learn
about and explore innovative ways to power our society. As our world
changes, the need for individuals who are trained in this growing field are
in high demand. “Green” concepts, energy trends, and potential ways to
cut energy costs will be discussed. Particular areas of interest will include
solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. Basic electrical concepts will
be introduced with lab activities. Students will also learn about fossil fuels,
nuclear energy, bio-fuels, fuel cells, and biomass-energy. Students completing
two credits or 1 full credit in this pathway will fulfill the Fine Arts requirement for graduation.
8385 ENGINEERING I
COLLEGE TECH PREP
Year Credit 2 Grade 11 Est. Fee $40
2 periods per day
Prerequisite: Application
Co requisite: Physics
It is expected that all Tech Prep students will successfully complete Algebra
II before graduating.
This course is part one of a two-year program. Students involved in this
program will be eligible to earn transcript college credit. The instructor will
issue a separate college grade upon completion of the course. This is a great
opportunity for students who are interested in pursuing a college degree in
engineering. In this course engineering standards will be reinforced along with
employability skills. Unique problem solving projects such as sponsored by NASA
will be used as a tool to instruct classroom activities. Students may
also have the opportunity to tour local colleges and companies. Students
completing two ½ credits or 1 full credit in this pathway will fulfill the Arts and
Humanities requirement for Graduation.
Aerospace Engineering
Subject Code: 175005
This course will introduce students to the evolution of flight, navigation and control, flight fundamentals, aerospace
materials, propulsion, space travel, and orbital mechanics. Students will learn and apply principles of aerospace
design and construction to aircraft, rockets and spacecraft.
Manufacturing Operations
Subject Code: 175003
Students will learn the production processes applied across manufacturing operations. Students will be able to
demonstrate a broad array of technical skills with an emphasis given to quality practices, measurement,
maintenance and safety.
8388 ENGINEERING II
COLLEGE TECH PREP
Year Credit 2 Grade 12 Est. Fee $40
Prerequisite: Engineering Tech Prep I
This course is the second and final part of the Engineering program. It
will enable students to fully prepare for their first year of an Associate's or
Bachelor's degree in Engineering. Students will complete various
unique problem solving projects such as Underwater Remotely operated
innovations.Interships will be utilized to provide an opportunity to visit and
work beside local engineers who will assist students through a Mentorship / Job shadowing
experience during the last semester. After completing this program, students
will have 9 transcript college credit hours.
DC and AC Electronic Circuits
Subject Code: 175011
Students will learn the fundamental principles of electricity with emphasis on DC (direct current) circuits and an
introduction to AC (alternating current) circuits. They will use concepts of Ohm’s Law, the Power Formula, and
Kirchoff’s Laws with series, parallel, and series-parallel circuit applications. The relationship between electricity and
magnetism and motor theory will also be introduced. The student will use and maintain digital multimeters and
oscilloscopes.
Robotics
Subject Code: 175004
Students will apply the knowledge and skills necessary to program and operate Robots, using the teach pendant as
the main interface point. The Students will learn robotic operations and system configurations. Students will code,
compile, and debug programs using the robotic programming language.
