Apply the engineering design process to solve real-world problems in structural, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering.
Start DesigningDesign bridges and buildings, then stress-test them with adjustable loads to find failure points.
Create gear trains, linkages, and cam mechanisms to achieve desired mechanical motions.
Build and test analog and digital circuits with virtual components and multimeter readings.
Create 2D technical drawings and 3D models with dimensioning and tolerance annotations.
Learn to define problems, research constraints, brainstorm solutions, prototype, test, iterate, and communicate results systematically.
Analyze forces, stress, strain, material properties, gear ratios, and thermodynamics through virtual prototyping and testing.
Design circuits, program microcontrollers, build logic gates, and develop software solutions for engineering challenges.
Watching my bridge design fail under load taught me more about forces than any worksheet.Mr. O'Brien, Engineering
The circuit designer let me prototype my robotics project before building anything physical.Kai T., Grade 10
