Apply for SUU Concurrent Enrollment
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 architecture engineering program is available at the JATC for students who desire to continue their engineering pathway. This program consists of two 0.5 credit courses: Architectural Design 1, 2, & 3.
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.
Open to 11th and 12th grades with 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 architecture program is available at the JATC for students who desire to continue their engineering pathway or start their journey into architecture. This program consists of four 0.5 courses: Architecture and Civil Engineering, Architectural Design 1, Architectural Design 2 and Architectural Design 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.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does class have concurrent enrollment?
Yes, for a total of 6.0 college credits.
CCET 1040 - Intro to Residential Architecture (3 credits SUU)
CM 1000 - Construction Plans (3 credits SUU)
What is the schedule commitment for the Engineering: Architecture Program?
The program is one semester long consisting of four 0.5 courses. This means that the student is at the JATC for two class periods on A Days and B Days for the first semester. 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.
