Disclosure
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 advanced engineering program is available as a second semester course. This program consists of two courses: Capstone Engineering and Materials Science. This program is like Shark Tank for engineers! Ultimately, students will be working on a semester-long engineering project that they get to choose. This is an engineering capstone project, using the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the JATC programs to identify an issue and then research, design, and prototype a solution. Students will also get hands-on learning in materials including polymers, composites, and metals.
- The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout previous engineering and general course come together in capstone engineering as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. This SHARK TANK for engineers! Students apply the professional skills they have developed to document a design process to standard, completing prototype 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, Engineering Capstone is 3.0 credits CCET 2620 - 3D Design is 3.0 credits.
What is the schedule commitment for the Engineering: Advanced Program?
The program is one semester long consisting of two 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 for second 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.
