Instruct high school students with criteria from four courses: Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Introduction to Engineering Design, and Principles of Engineering.
• Aerospace Engineering: Provide students with opportunities to complete hands-on engineering projects developed with NASA. Students learn about aerodynamics, astronautics, space-life sciences, and systems engineering.
• Civil Engineering: Instructed students to explore various aspects of civil engineering and architecture and apply their knowledge to the design and development of residential and commercial properties and structures. Instructed students on the use of 3D design software to design and document solutions for major course projects. Students communicate and present solutions to their peers and prepare to become members of a professional community of engineers and architects.
• Introduction to Engineering Design: This course concentrates on students learning problem-solving skills using a design development process. Models of product solutions are created, analyzed, and communicated using solid modeling computer design software such as AutoCAD, Revit and Solidworks.
• Principles of Engineering: Assist students with the understanding of the field of engineering/engineering technology by exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes. Educates students about how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem solving process.
