In Engineering Explorations I, students examine technology and engineering fundamentals in relation to solving real-world problems. Students investigate engineering history, including major engineering accomplishments, and their effect on society. They also examine engineering specialty fields and their related careers. Students practice engineering fundamentals and apply the engineering design process through participation in hands-on engineering projects. Students communicate project-related information through presentations, proposals, and technical reports. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
