Afterward coordinators will conference with parents with unique concerns.  Applications for the Pre-  Engineering Academy will be available at this session.  All parents and students considering either program are welcome to join us. 

Pre-Engineering Curriculum…

Currently five courses are available for your exploration over a four-year period. You will experience first-hand how engineers make a difference in our lives. Enhance your creativity, problem solving and project planning skills through individual and team projects that capture your spirit of adventure.

 Ø      Engineering in a Global Society – In the introductory course, students explore the engineering design process and create 3-D models using Autodesk® Inventor. Projects include designing, creating, and “smashing” model towers to understand stress analysis; and applying reverse engineering to produce a new toy.

 Ø      Robotics and Manufacturing – Any idea how mechanical robots are part of our lives? Use your skills to design, program and create robots and explore the use of machinery to mass produce real-world products. Let your imagination run wild as you investigate the world of animatronics!

 Ø      Biomedical / Biotechnical Engineering – Creatively combine biology and human anatomy with engineering. Discover interconnections of the real world through genetic engineering, artificial joints and organs, and Criminal Science Forensics (CSI).

 Ø      Civil and Architectural Engineering – Learn the relationships between structure and design by designing your dream home. Analyze all aspects of your building site and explore engineering challenges unique to Colorado.

 Ø      Engineering Design and Development – In this “capstone” course, Seniors work in teams to research, design and create a solution to an open-ended engineering challenge. You will showcase your design and product to a team of engineers.

Can I start the program in a later year?  Yes! 

Will I have to start at the intro course?  Only if you choose.
