Math Prerequisite: Currently taking or previously completed Geometry and a grade of “B” or better in all Algebra courses taken at the high school level. Additional Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in Intro to Engineering Design Honors (991) and in Principles of Engineering Honors (992).Students are introduced to the world of aeronautics, flight, and engineering through PLTW activity and problem-based learning by exploring the world of aerospace engineering. Students will engage in lessons involving aerospace information systems, astronautics, rocketry, propulsion, principles of aeronautics and more. The course of study includes History of Flight, Aerodynamics, and Aerodynamics Testing, Flight Systems, Astronautics, Space Life Systems, Aerospace Materials, and Systems Engineering. One of the programmed activities asks students to design and test several airfoils, then use a wind tunnel to better understand the airfoils relationship to lift, and ultimately to flight. Grade weighted upon successful completion of course.
