Courses

High School Credits: 1 Credit

This program is designed for students investigating or anticipating careers in science, engineering and technology. Students learn basic physics and engineering concepts and learn the principles of systems engineering as they plan, develop, and execute engineering projects. Mathematics, technical research and writing, electronics, and computer aided design programs are used in the design and construction of mechanical, air, space and robotics system models and system prototypes. Students design and complete an intensive six-week engineering system project; robotics and satellite technology. 

Program Features

• Students learn engineering design as a process
• High-value, behind-the-scenes field trips
• 6-week design/build project
• FIRST Robotics

Certifications

• The U.S. has approximately 1.6 million engineering jobs that pay $42 per hour in median wages. Civil engineers account for the most jobs of any engineering field (274,000 in 2014), followed closely by mechanical engineers (264,000) and industrial engineers (229,000). Those three engineering jobs, plus electrical engineers and electronics engineers, make up two-thirds of the American engineering workforce. (Source: Forbes.com)
