The Honors Engineering Principles and Applications course is designed to correlate with honors

Chemistry and / or Geometry. EPA Honors promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and

Mathematics (STEM) based initiatives to help students make real world connections in math and science. THEME: The occurrence of natural or man mad

disaster in a populated area is the scenario for the strand which will wind its way through the course.

Students will apply engineering design and development prototype models to solve a variety of

real world problems.

GT Engineering Concepts course is designed to correlate with Physics.

EPA GT promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) based initiatives that help students make real world

connections in math and science. The course utilizes engineering challenges to

apply engineering concepts studied in the class. Areas of focus include design, electronics,

robotics, aerospace, and civil engineering. Major projects = Robotics, Mouse Trap Vehicles

Advanced Design Applications consists of four units including Manufacturing,

Energy / Power, Construction and Transportation.This is a ‘hands on’ class in which students use CAD to design an alternative energy house then create a model of the house as well as construct prototype models to solve engineering challenge

problems.

In Advanced Technological Applications, students study four components of the Designed

World, including Information Technology, Agriculture / Bio-related Technologies, Medical,

and Entertainment/Recreation. Students create ‘public service announcements’ to demonstrate focusing on Medical, Agriculture

and Bio-related Technologies.

TV and Radio ProductionEPA and ATA recommended prerequisitesStudents study methods of mass media

production as they create their own videos. All areas of television production are

emphasized including script writing, camera work, editing and directing.

Engineering Design and Research focus on how engineers apply their creativity,

resourcefulness, mathematical, scientific, and technical knowledge

and skills in the creation or refinement of technological

products/systems. Major project = Alternative Energy Vehicles & Rockets – Team America Rocket Challenge

Develop a rocket to launch an uncooked egg 700 feet in air, deploy recovering system to safely land egg as close to 45 seconds as possible.
