Principles of Engineering

Students explore technology systems and manufacturing processes to find out how math, science, and technology help people.

Students use computer simulations to learn about the logic of electronics as they design, test, and actually construct circuits and devices.

Digital Electronics

Introduction to Engineering Design

Using computer modeling software, student learn the process of product design. They solve design problems as they create, develop and analyze product models.

Teams of students, guided by community mentors, work together to research, design, and construct a solution to an engineering problem.
