**__ 7973 Introduction to Engineering Design (ATC), __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 2** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 9-12 **Prerequisite(s):** Algebra I or concurrent enrollment ** Notes: ** $20.00 Fee; Meets Technology Applications credit requirements if student earns credit for Introduction to Engineering Design and two additional PLTW courses. Students use computer software to produce, analyze and evaluate models of project solutions. They study the design concepts of form and function, and then use state of the art technology to translate conceptual design into reproducible products. The students learn through hands-on activities, industry speakers, field trips, and video conferencing. Students have the opportunity to survey engineering fields and discuss career opportunities. **__ 7974 Principles of Engineering (Adv Acad), __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 1** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 10-12 **Prerequisites:  **Algebra I and Introduction to Engineering Design ** Notes: ** $20.00 Fee. This course helps students understand the exciting fields in engineering and engineering technology. Exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes help students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem solving process to benefit people. The course also includes the social and political consequences of technological change. Heavy emphasis will be placed on developing the necessary skills that engineers need to become successful. **__ 7975 Digital Electronics (Adv Acad) (ATC), __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 1** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 10-12 **Prerequisite(s):** Algebra I and Geometry required; Introduction to Engineering Design and Principles of Engineering recommended ** Notes: ** $20.00 Fee. The major focus of this course is to expose students to the world of digital electronics. The course is built around simulation software and hands on training. Students learn about resistors, LED’s, integrated chips, and how all electronic components combine to form a digital circuit. Students learn to use Boolean algebra to design logic circuits, build the circuit using simulation software to test for correctness, and then build the circuit using wires, integrated chips, switches, leds, and other components. **__ 7978 Civil Engineering and Architecture (Adv Acad) (ATC), __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 1** __ Grade Level(s): 11-12 **Prerequisite(s):** Introduction to Engineering Design required. Principles of Engineering and Digital Electronics recommended. ** Notes: ** $20.00 Fee. The Engineering and Architecture course is intended to serve as specialization course within the Project Lead the Way sequence. The course is structured to enable all students to have a variety of experiences that will provide an overview of both fields. Student use state of the art software to solve real world problems and communicate solutions to hands-on projects and activities. This course covers topics such as: The Roles of Civil Engineers and Architects, Project Planning, Site Planning, Building Design, Project Documentation and Presentation. Students work in teams, exploring hands-on projects and activities to learn the characteristics of civil engineering and architecture. **__ 7976 Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Adv Acad) (ATC), __**__ 1 credit (state ____ ) __**__ GPA Level 1 __** ** Grade Level(s): ** 11-12** Prerequisite(s):** Introduction to Engineering Design required. Principles of Engineering and Digital Electronics recommended. ** Notes: ** $20.00 Fee. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is intended to serve as a specialization course within the Project Lead the Way sequence. This course will expose students to the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. The course is built around several key concepts: computer modeling using a three dimensional, solid modeling software package with mass property analysis; CNC equipment-understanding the machine tools and its operating and programming aspects; CAM software-converting computer generated geometry onto a program to drive CNC machine tools; Robotics-using a robot for materials handling and assembly operations; and Flexible manufacturing systems-students working in teams to design manufacturing work cells and table top factory simulations. **__ 7977 Aerospace Engineering (Adv Acad), __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 1** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 11-12 **Prerequisite(s):** Introduction to Engineering Design required.

The Aerospace Engineering course is intended to serve as specialization course within the Project Lead the Way sequence. The major focus of this course is to expose students to the world of aeronautics, flight, and engineering. They will employ engineering and scientific concepts in an activity-based and problem-based curriculum. Lessons will engage students in engineering design problems related to aerospace information systems, aeronautics, rocketry propulsion, the physics of space science, space life sciences, the biology of space science, principles of aeronautics, structures of materials, and systems engineering **__ 7979 __**__ **Engineering Design and Development (Adv Acad),** 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 1** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 11-12 **Prerequisites:** Introduction to Engineering Design and at least one other Project Lead the Way course required. ** Notes: ** $20.00 Fee. The Engineering Design and Development (EDD) course involves an intensive student driven project which includes a student portfolio prepared for view by college recruiters and industry professionals. The EDD course is based on previous Engineering course objectives. These courses include Intro to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Aerospace Engineering, and Engineering and Architecture. The EDD student will use previously attained engineering skills and knowledge for this project based class.
