Principles of Applied Engineering - 1.0 unit of high school credit (8th Gr):
This course provides an overview of the various career fields of science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEM) and their interrelationships. Students will use (dependent on their previous skill levels) multiple real-world software beginning applications such as Autodesk Inventor and/or AutoCAD course assignments.
We prepare students to interact in a realistic setting hands-on real life projects preparing and presenting to peer and/or adult judges or employers. Confidence is an attribute we seek as they learn to dress, speak and greet in multiple situations. Through these learning experiences, students will be able to develop applicable knowledge and skills in design, construction, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and seeking a career in their upcoming futures.
This course prepares them for “Introduction to Engineering Design” and a foundation course for “Robotics I.” The grade earned will count for high school credit, but will not be applied to their high school GPA or class ranking.
Required $30.00 Lab Fee

Medicine
Biomedical engineers develop artificial lenses that restore sight to the blind, radiation treatments that fight cancer, or incubators that keep premature babies alive.
The Environment
Environmental engineers find ways of cleaning up our oceans, rivers, and drinking water, developing air pollution equipment, designing more effective recycling systems, or discovering safe ways to dispose of toxic waste.
Food
Agricultural and biological engineers design methods of keeping harmful microorganisms out of our food supply; create innovative systems for growing fruits, vegetables, livestock and fish; or help developing countries preserve more of their harvested grain against insects and mold.
Fashion & Entertainment
Computer science engineers develop cutting-edge music software; create shopping apps that helps customers choose styles—and then recommends matching accessories, and where to buy them; or produce a digital set design program that adds virtual actors to the set and shows how all the elements interact.
Entrepreneur & Business
Engineering is a great platform on which to build a successful career in business. For example,mechanical engineers are often referred to as the general practitioners of the engineering profession, since they work in nearly every area of technology, from aerospace and automotive to computers and biotechnology. And industrial engineers organize people, places, equipment, and information, ensuring that complex and large-scale systems operate safely and efficiently.
