Exploring Engineering 750 9-12 1 0.5
Students will apply their creative abilities through the application of Computer Aided Design, scientific principles, and engineering analysis to solve structured and unstructured problems. Individual and team work will be emphasized through the design loop or problem-solving process. Students will utilize math and science concepts combined with the operation of tools and machines to develop solutions to bring thoughts and ideas to life with the use of hands-on activities. Students with an interest in robotics, engineering, architecture, or green design are encouraged to take this course.
Engineering Design 1 775 9-12 2 1
Students will design parts with software applications, which will enable students to see 3 Dimensional representations of their products. These parts may be created with clay or Styrofoam to create mockups and/or utilizing student-created molds and the 3D printer. This course will utilize CAD (Computer Aided Design) software and applications to develop engineering skills and concepts for designing, creating, prototyping and testing parts. Projects such as CO2 car, 3D designed projects, and student-interest based projects. Students will be required to record their progress through written and photo documentation.
PREREQUISITE: Student must have all of the following:
● B or better in Exploring Engineering.
Engineering Design 2 778 10-12 2 1
This is a continuation course for students to build their engineering design skills. Students will design multiple complex parts acting together to create systems or subsystems with software applications. Students will utilize technology, including the 3D printer. This course will utilize CAD (Computer Aided Design) software and applications to develop engineering skills and concepts for designing, creating, prototyping and testing parts and student-interest based projects. Students will be required to record their progress through written, photo and video documentation. PREREQUISITE: Student must have all of the following:
● B or better in Engineering Design 1.
STEAM Studio 605 9-12 1 .5
STEAM Studio is a unique class full of hands-on challenges designed to engage students in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics (STEAM). The class will engage students in explorations of the geometric constructions of Islamic art, virtual reality, robotics and simple machines, and more. The ideal STEAM Studio student is curious, self-motivated and can persevere to take on a challenge and figure out their path to achieve it​.
Graphic & Visual 780 9-12 2 1 Communications
Graphic & Visual Communications offers students a hands-on experience with the principles of design and the application of various graphic materials and technologies in order to formulate clear, powerful, and persuasive visual statements. Students will learn the art of electronic media publishing, printing technologies, and laser engraving processes to construct visual images and typography using a suite of Adobe products and maker equipment.
Digital Electronics 781 10-12 2 1
Digital Electronics can be found in all modern electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptop computers, digital cameras, and high definition televisions. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in computer and electrical engineering, electronics in general, or circuit design. Students will study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices.
PREREQUISITES: Students must have all of the following: ● Successful completion of Algebra 1 and Biology
Exceptionally Prepared for Success
