In this course, students use 3D solid modeling design software to help them design solutions to solve proposed problems. 

Students will learn how to document their work and communicate solutions to peers and members of the professional 

community. This course is designed for 9th or 10th grade students. The major focus of the IED course is to expose students 

to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering 

standards and technical documentation.

 

Principles of Engineering
POE

 

This survey course of engineering exposes students to some of the major concepts they’ll encounter in a postsecondary 

engineering course of study. Students have an opportunity to investigate engineering and high-tech careers and to develop 

skills and understanding of course concepts. Students employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of engineering 

design problems. They develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to 

various challenges. Students also learn how to document their work and communicate their solutions to peers and members of 

the professional community. This course is designed for 10th or 11th grade students.

 

Digital Electronics
DE

 

This course is the study of electronic circuits that are used to process and control digital signals. Digital electronics is the 

foundation of all modern electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptop computers, digital cameras and highdefinition televisions. The major focus of the DE course is to expose students to the process of combinational and sequential 

logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards and technical documentation. This course is designed 

for 10th or 11th grade students.

 

 

 

The major focus of this course is to expose students to the world of aeronautics, flight and engineering through the fields of 

aeronautics, aerospace engineering and related areas of study. Lessons engage students in engineering design problems related 

to aerospace information systems, astronautics, rocketry, propulsion, the physics of space science, space life sciences, the 

biology of space science, principles of aeronautics, structures and materials, and systems engineering. Students work in teams 

utilizing hands-on activities, projects and problems and are exposed to various situations faced by aerospace engineers. In 

addition, students use 3D design software to help design solutions to proposed problems. Students design intelligent vehicles to 

learn about documenting their project, solving problems and communicating their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community. This course is designed for 11th or 12th grade students
