This STEM course makes a contribution
to the curriculum by providing opportunities for students and teachers to link
content together and apply it to solve problems. More and more jobs demand
advanced skills, requiring that people be able to learn, reason, think
creatively, make decisions, and solve problems. An understanding of science,
technology, engineering and math and their methods contribute in an essential
way to these skills. Principles of Engineering is a team based advanced course
designed for most students. The Principles
of Engineering courses intention and purpose is to educate students in a “main
line” method providing STEM education for everyone. While providing a STEM
based education for all students, those interested in becoming practicing
engineers clearly benefit from this course content.
