The course is designed to give students an overview of diverse engineering disciplines—mechanical, electrical, and civil—in order to find out what engineers actually do. Students will see the difference between “science” as the discovery of new knowledge and “engineering” as the uses of that knowledge in new environments. Students will practice their own engineering skills, finding out how things work in the real world through various projects and hands-on activities. The course will emphasize creative and analytical problem solving, hands-on building activities, design, and teamwork.
Grade requirement: For students completing Grade 7 or 8.
Self-study and homework required:
2-5 hours per class meeting
