Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to a variety of technologies used in engineering such as robotics, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics and CAD/CAM. Student teams will progress through an articulated modular instructional system. They will apply scientific principles, math concepts, and communication skills in activity-oriented engineering projects. Students will combine interdisciplinary skills to produce a product-using computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system.
 
Career Areas:
Electronic Assembler
Building Contractor
Chemical Engineer
Civil Engineer
Electrical Engineer
Computer Science Engineer
Industrial Engineer
Structural Engineer
Aero-Space Engineer
Mechanical Engineer
Engineer Technician
 
 Job Outlook:
Overall engineering employment is expected to grow by 11 percent over the 2008–18 decade, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Engineers traditionally have been concentrated in slower growing or declining manufacturing industries, in which they will continue to be needed to design, build, test, and improve manufactured products. However, increasing employment of engineers in engineering, research and development, and consulting services industries should generate most of the employment growth.
