Engineering is a one-year, two-credit weighted course in which students are given an orientation to the challenges of engineering careers. Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), engineering graphics and mathematical/scientific principles are topics covered through problem-solving experiences. Activities in descriptive geometry, materials science, and technical systems challenge students as they communicate information through seminars, technical reports, and idea sharing. To learn the applications and design process of engineering, students form teams and select a group desing project. Each team uses communications tools such as telecommunications, operating systems graphics, spreadsheets, mathematics, and community resources to solve problems. Each team learns appropriate information in order to complete a project. Projects may be models, systems, or products that creatively solve an engineering problem. In order to attend the Center, students must register for Engineering I, Engineering II, and Physics for Technology. Special exemptions are made for advanced studies students.
