Math Prerequisite: Currently taking or previously completed Geometry and a grade of “B” or better in Algebra 1 and all other Algebra courses taken at the high school level. Additional Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in Intro to Engineering Design Honors (991). This is the second course in the Project Lead the Way program. The main purpose of this course is to experience, through theory and hands-on problem-solving activities, what engineering is all about and to answer the question: “Is a career in engineering or engineering technology for me?” By exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes, students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technological resources in an engineering problem solving process to benefit people. Units of study include: mechanisms, fluid dynamics, electrical and control systems, statics, material properties, and kinematics. Students who complete the course and the national exam with high achievement are eligible to receive college credit from the Rochester Institute of Technology and several other colleges for a fee. Grade weighted upon successful completion of course. As an Honors level, dual-credit course, this class will receive AP (5.0) weight in your GPA, adhering to Pennsylvania Department of Education’s guidelines
