Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering Design.

Principles of Engineering is a course that focuses on the process of applying engineering, technological, scientific, and mathematical principles in the design, production, and operation of products, structures, and systems.  This is a hands-on course designed to provide students interested in engineering careers to explore experiences related to specialized fields, such as civil, mechanical, and materials engineering. Students will engage in research, development, planning, design, production, and project management to simulate a career in engineering.  The topics of ethics and the impacts of engineering decisions are also addressed. Classroom activities are organized to allow students to work in teams and use modern technological processes, computers, CAD software, and production systems in developing and presenting solutions to engineering problems. PC or Mac-based laptop required.  Tablets and Chromebooks are not acceptable.
