ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES – GlenOak High School
   • Grade 11. Engineering Tech Lab I, Principles of Physics in Tech I,
     Algebra/Trigonometry.
   • Grade 12. Engineering Tech Lab II, Principles of Physics in Tech II.

Successful graduates from this program will be prepared to enter a two year program at a technical college or a four year college or university program for majors in manufacturing technologies, electronics, or automated systems, but are not limited to these majors. This program is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing team teaching and project-based learning. Students may also enter into employment upon high school graduation as a technician assistant in electronics, quality control, or data entry. Students will be trained in physics and other sciences as they apply to this broad career field, computer-aided design applications, quality control processes, electronics, other computer technologies and research, occupational exploration, and communications. Guidelines for admission to this program are available from your guidance counselor.

Project Lead the Way Pre-Engineering
   • Juniors will take Intro to Engineering Design and Principals
     of Engineering
   • Seniors will take Fuel Cell Technology and Engineering
     Design and Development
   • Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) 1 credit
   • Prerequisite: None Fee: $20.00
IED is a hands-on, project-based course. It is the introductory course in the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) pre-engineering curriculum. IED encourages students to be creative and apply decision-making and problem solving skills to specific design problems, using powerful computer software (Autodesk Inventor).

Principles of Engineering (POE) 1 credit
   • Prerequisite: Intro to Engineering Design*** Fee: $20.00
POE is the second in series of Project Lead the Way courses. Designed around a series of hands-on projects that explore various engineering systems. POE helps students understand the field of engineering/engineering technology. Building on skills learned in the IED course, students will use their knowledge of the design process and ability to create CAD drawings to complete several design and engineering projects. The course also addresses concerns about social and political consequences of technological change.

– Timken High School

Introduction to Engineering Design (1 credit)
Prerequisite: None
The Introduction to Engineering Design course is the first of five engineering courses offered in the technology Academy that was developed by Project Lead The Way – a nationally recognized pre-engineering program to promote engineering technology studies in high school curriculum. The instructor of this course has received extensive training at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Students will utilize their problem-solving skills to analyze the design of a product. Both artistically and technically, students will apply this knowledge to develop accurate hand-drawn sketches and then use Computer Aided Design (CAD) to formulate a three-dimensional solid model of the product. The content of the course emphasizes the precise steps inherent in the design process, integrating skills of mathematics, science, and technology at all levels. Students will attain competency in the art and process of design and become proficient in drafting techniques and CAD. The techniques learned and equipment provided are currently used by engineers throughout the United States.

Digital Electronics (1 credit – grades 11, 12)
Perquisite: Introduction to Engineering
Digital Electronics is a course in applied logic that encompasses the application of electronic circuits and devices. Computer simulation software is used to design and test digital circuitry prior to the actual construction of circuits and devices.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (1credit – grades 11,12)
Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering
The course will be taught using demonstration and discussion combined with individual and team-centered project-based learning. This course applies the principles of automation and robotics. It builds skill in computer solid modeling that was developed in Introduction to Engineering. Students use CNC equipment to produce actual models of their 3-D designs. Fundamental concepts of robotics used in automated manufacturing and design analysis are included.

Civil Engineering and Architecture
This course provides an overview of the fields of Civil Engineering and Architecture, while emphasizing the interrelationship and dependence of both fields on each other. Students use state of the art software to solve real world problems and communicate solutions to hands-on projects and activities.
This course covers topics such as:

 • The Roles of Civil Engineers and Architects
 • Project Planning
 • Site Planning
 • Building Design
 • Project Documentation and Presentation
