(Credit - 2) (Elective) (Year) (Grades: 9-10-11-12)
(College Credit Course - EGT 410) (3 DMACC credits) (Grade: Weighted)
Prerequisite: Students should have a solid foundation in math. 1) The student has a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above, or 2) The student has a 3.00 GPA or above in previous related course work. Exceptions to this prerequisite can be made via a written application process. Applications can be obtained at the guidance office.
In this course, students will explore the wide variety of careers in engineering and technology. They will explore various technology systems and processes using activities, projects, and problems. Students learn first hand how engineers and technicians use math, science, and technology in an engineering problem‐solving process to benefit people. The course also addresses concerns about social and political consequences of technological change.
This course is part of the Project Lead The Way program and thus, students may earn college credits. Both semesters must be taken in order to receive college credit.
College Credit Transfer Details: The high school offers college credit courses for students, but remember it is the students' responsibility for their transcripts being sent to their college of choice for transfer of credits. Transcript Release Form

(Credit - 2) (Elective) (Year) (Grades: 10-11-12)
(College Credit Course - EGT 400) (3 DMACC credits) (Grade: Weighted)
The prerequisite to taking enrichment courses is the following: 1) The student has a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above, or 2) The student has a 3.00 GPA or above in previous related course work. Exceptions to this prerequisite can be made via a written application process. Applications can be obtained at the guidance office.
Students use a problem‐solving model (design process) to improve existing products and invent new ones. The student will learn how to apply this model to solve problems in and out of the classroom. Using sophisticated three‐dimensional modeling software, students communicate the details of the products. Emphasis is placed on analyzing potential solutions and communication ideas to others. Students will document progress in an Engineering Notebook and compile a portfolio for completed work. Students will gain or enhance skills in Technical Drawing, Computer Aided Design, Use of Materials, Manufacturing Processes, and Collaboration.
This course is part of the Project Lead The Way program and thus, students may earn college credits. Both semesters must be taken in order to receive college credit.

(Offered 2015-16)
(Credit - 2) (Elective) (Year) (Grades: 11-12)
(Capstone Course) (Grade: Weighted)
The prerequisite to taking enrichment courses is the following: 1) The student has a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above, or 2) The student has a 3.00 GPA or above in previous related course work. Exceptions to this prerequisite can be made via a written application process. Applications can be obtained at the guidance office. This capstone course, students work in teams to design and develop an original solution to a valid open-ended technical problem by applying the engineering design process. Students perform research to choose, validate, and justify a technical problem. After carefully defining the problem, teams design, build, and test their solutions while working closely with industry professional that provide mentoring opportunities. Finally, student teams present and defend their original solution to an outside panel. This course is appropriate for 11th and 12th grade students.
