From launching space explorations to delivering safe, clean water to communities, engineers find solutions to pressing problems and turn their ideas into reality. Engineering empowers students to step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make the leap from dreamers to doers. The program’s courses engage students in compelling, real-world challenges that help them become better collaborators and thinkers. Students take from the courses in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.
Program Description:
The civil and architecture engineering program is available at the JATC for students who desire to continue their engineering pathway. This program consists of six courses: Civil Engineering, CAD: Architecture 1, 2, & 3 are all first semester. Second semester Capstone Engineering and Materials are offered (**Capstone/Materials can be swapped out for Engineering: Robotics instead).
Program Expectations:
Students will be involved in hands-on projects. Activities will be team oriented and attention to detail will be emphasized. Documentation and calculations will be an important part of the advanced engineering classes.
Second year programs are open to 11th and 12th grades and have a minimum GPA requirement of 3.0.
- Most projects are team oriented; students are expected to be willing to work with other students in the class to achieve the project goal.
- The students will be doing engineering calculations and should come to the program with a good understanding of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
- Documenting work and recording the design process is a very important part of engineering and will be an important part of the classes. Students will be expected to write as well as give several presentations to the class.
- The civil engineering program is available at the JATC for students who desire to continue their engineering pathway. This program consists of four courses: Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA), Architectural CAD 1, Architectural CAD 2 and Architectural CAD 3. These courses will introduce students to important aspects of building and site design and development. They will apply what they have learned to design a residential and commercial building. Computer Aided Design (CAD) will be used to create these projects to bring them to life.
Engineering Capstone - 1.0 high school credit - 3.0 concurrent enrollment credit- The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in Engineering Design and Development as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Students apply the professional skills they have developed to document a design process to standard, completing Engineering Design and Development ready to take on any post-secondary program or career. This class is also taken concurrently through SUU (CCET 2620 - 3D Design)
- The development and use of materials will continue to be a major source of job opportunities in today's marketplace. This course provides students with the basic principles and skills of various materials used in engineering.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does class have concurrent enrollment?
Yes, for a total of 9.0 college credits.
CCET 1040 - Intro to Residential Architecture (3 credits SUU)
CM 1000 - Construction Plans (3 credits SUU)
Engineering Capstone is 3.0 credits CCET 2620 - 3D Design is 3.0 credits.
What is the schedule commitment for the Advanced Engineering Program?
The program is one year long consisting of four courses that are each 1.0 high school credits. This means that the student is at the JATC for two class periods on A Days and B Days. The students can be bused to and from their home high schools or they can drive in personal cars.
How is it different than a normal math or science class?
Engineering is about applying math and science to solve real world problems. In the Engineering program we will be learning how to apply the math and science the students are already familiar with on real world problems and with hands-on projects.
