Engineering Pathway Overview
"Engineering & Technology combines hands-on projects with a rigorous curriculum to prepare students for the most challenging postsecondary engineering and technology programs. You will build solid writing, comprehension, calculation, problem-solving, and technical skills. You will be encouraged to take relevant math and science courses, such as advanced algebra, chemistry, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, physics, design, and engineering concepts. In addition to classroom and laboratory experiences, Engineering & Technology students participate in the Technology Student Association (TSA). Activities in Technology Student Association promote leadership skills, high standards of craft quality, scholarship, and safety. Through Technology Student Association, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your community’s industrial and technological resources, practice parliamentary procedures and democratic decision-making, and earn recognition for exemplary performance."

Year 1:
This course is the introductory course for all Georgia Engineering and Technology education pathways. This course provides students with opportunities to develop fundamental technological literacy as they learn about the history, systems, and processes of invention and innovation. Course Content: Lab Safety, Engineering Design Process, Manufacturing, Sketching, Construction and Thermal Systems, VEX Robotics, AutoDesk Inventor, Google Sketchup, Ethics in Engineering - Debates, Engineering Careers, Electronic Portfolios |
Year 2:
Engineering Concepts is second course in the engineering pathway. This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of engineering. Students learn about areas of specialization within engineering and engineering design, and apply engineering tools and procedures as they complete hands-on instructional activities. Course Content: Lab Safety, Manufacturing, Fluid Systems, Electronics, Engineering Design, AutoDesk Inventor, Engineering Careers, Electronic Portfolios |
Year 3:
Engineering Applications is the third course in the engineering pathway. Students have opportunities to apply engineering design as they develop a solution for a technological problem. Students use applications of mathematics and science to predict the success of an engineered solution and complete hands-on activities with tools, materials, and processes as they develop a working drawings and prototypes. Course Content: Prototype design, VEX Robitics, Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering Design, AutoDesk Inventor |
