This course provides an overview of engineering and engineering technology. Students will develop problem-solving skills by tackling real-world engineering problems. This course provides a hands-on approach to science, math, and technology. Through theory and practical hands-on experience, students will become familiar with the multifaceted career of engineering. This course will explore the following topics: design process, communication and documentation, engineering systems, fluid power, electronics, robotics, mechanical systems, materials and materials testing, thermodynamics, and engineering for quality and reliability. Students will work on projects such as energy transfer devices, marble sorters, balsa wood bridges, pneumatic labs, electronic labs, ping-pong ball launchers, hero’s engines, and a tensile testing activity.

This course is currently taught by Mr. Fitzgerald.
