Introduction to Engineering is a hands-on, second-level course designed for students who have completed an exploratory engineering or manufacturing course. This course deepens students’ understanding of engineering concepts, design thinking, and problem-solving.
Students will engage in the engineering design process to identify problems, develop solutions, create prototypes, test designs, and refine their work. Instruction incorporates elements of science, mathematics, technology, and computer-aided design (CAD) while emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. Projects may include engineering challenges related to structures, mechanisms, or systems.
This course provides a strong foundation for advanced engineering, manufacturing, and STEM pathways at the high school level.
