10,11,12,10th for Academy members - 1 year, 1 credit

If you like to build things, use power tools and computers this class is for you. In this class you will build with simple machines, create scale models, learn abut materials and how to test them and explore and use motors, lights, circuitry, gears and pneumatics. This is a course that helps students understand the field of engineering/engineering technology. Exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes help students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problems solving process to benefit people. The course also includes concerns about social and political consequences of technological change. College credit available.

11, 12, 11th for Academy members - 1 year, 1 credit

Students will discover the differences and similarities between civil engineering and architecture. They will explore the historical impacts of important developments and how they have influenced the progress of humankind. Students will develop projects from ground level through completion with both the civil engineering and the architecture of facilities and structures and how they work together.

12 Academy - 1 year, 1 credit

Prerequisite: POE, CEA, and Academy Member

This is an engineering research course in which students work in teams to research, design and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem of their choosing. Students apply principles developed in the preceding courses to include software applications, build and test of design solutions, and are guided by a community mentor. They must present progress reports, submit a final written report and defend their solutions to a panel of outside reviewers at the end of the school year. Students will do a final presentation of their design to community members, technical advisors, peers and other interested parties.

10, 11, 12 - 1 year, 1 credit

In this class you will learn how to program a robot arm, use a CNC milling machine and how to integrate the two together to make a totally automated cell.

This is a project based course in applied logic that encompasses the application of electronic circuits and devices. Computer simulation software is used to design and test digital circuitry prior to the actual construction of circuits and devices. Students learn how integrated digital circuits work, how to design a circuit, how to simulate and then build and test their designs. Examples of student designs, which are designed and built by the students, are alarm systems, traffic light systems, clocks, displays, vending machine systems and many more. Students also learn how to program chips such as gals and microprocessors to perform similar tasks including maneuvering a small robot. College credit available.

10, 11, 12 - 1 year, 1 credit

If you like computers and designing things on them this is the class for you. You will use Inventor to design different systems and then print them on the 3-D printer. This is a course that teaches problem-solving skills using a design development process. Models of product solutions are created analyzed and communicated using solid modeling computer design software. This 3-D software, Inventor, is used to animate designs and analyze them. Students use it to analyze systems and then build them. College credit available.
