Principles of Engineering explores a broad range of engineering and technology topics with their relationship to science and mathematics by solving real world problems. This hands-on course is designed to provide students interested in engineering and technology career opportunities to explore applications related to specialized fields such as civil, mechanical, and materials engineering, among others. Students will engage in research, development, planning, design, production, and project management. Classroom activities are organized to allow students to work in teams and use modern technological processes, software, and production systems to develop and present solutions to engineering problems. As students will investigate various careers within the fields of engineering and technology. Students will investigate various careers within the fields of engineering and technology, adapt and apply energy and power concepts to develop an efficient system, interpret science and math concepts to determine the effect of stresses placed on a structure and its components, evaluate simple machines for the purpose of solving a wide range of design and application problems, assess hydraulic and pneumatic systems for the purpose of use as a control system component, and apply concepts of computer programming, logic, and fluid power to establish an automated control system.
