Course Description
This course takes students on a “doing” tour of the discipline of engineering and several of its sub-disciplines including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering. Students will learn the engineering design process and computer aided design and apply it to “hands-on” projects. This course requires weekly engagement but is primarily asynchronous which allows students to work around their school schedule. This course also explores the engineering approach for problem solving. One-on-one synchronous teacher support is offered as needed, by appointment.
