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.
