Introduction to Engineering Design (Recommended 1st Course)

Using 3D computer modeling software, you will learn the design process and solve design problems for which you will develop, analyze and create product models.

Principles of Engineering 

This course will help you gain more in-depth insight into the field of engineering/engineering technology. With a focus on exploring technology systems and manufacturing processes, Principles of Engineering will provide you a better understanding of how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology to solve complex problems and benefit society.

Digital Electronics (DE)

From smartphones to appliances, digital circuits are all around us. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry including: logic gates, integrated circuits and programmable logic devices.  
 

Engineering Design and Development – Capstone Course

Guided by your instructor and community mentors, you will work as a team to research, design, and construct solutions to engineering problems. The Capstone Course is a summation of everything you have learned throughout the four-year program.

AP Computer Science Principles *Offered at Fairview and Brooklyn High Schools
