2009-10 School Yr. - Choctawhatchee High School

Engineering
The UWF / Choctawhatchee High School Engineering Program will provide students with the basic foundation
courses. These courses will academically support students for future endeavors in:
Aerospace Engineering Computer Engineering Space Science/Physics
Aerospace Electronics Electrical Engineering Science Technology
Civil Engineering Engineering Physics Software Engineering
Engineering Technology I 8600570
This course provides students with an introduction
and overview of various career fields available in
engineering. In addition to a hands-on, project
oriented approach to engineering design problems
in different engineering fields, emphasis is placed
on computer aided design using spreadsheets
and drafting software. Successful completion of
this course may lead to industrial certification for
AutoCAD. 1 year; 1 weighted + vocational elective
credit; grades 9-12; no prerequisite.
Engineering Technology I I 8600670
This course provides students with further
opportunities for intermediate level, hands-on
projects involving engineering design problems.
Emphasis is placed on analog and digital
electronic circuits, materials science,
manufacturing technology and industrial
engineering. Successful completion of this course
may lead to industrial certification in
manufacturing technology. 1 year; 1 weighted +
vocational elective credit; grades 10-12;
prerequisite: Successful completion of
Engineering Technology I.
Engineering Technology III 8601770
This course provides students with further
opportunities for advanced level, hands-on
projects involving engineering design problems.
Emphasis is placed on engineering software
including programming languages (C++),
electronic circuit analysis tools, three dimensional
solids modeling and structural analysis.
Successful completion of this course may lead to
industrial certification in Autodesk Inventor.
1 year; 1 weighted + vocational elective credit;
grades 10-12; prerequisite: Successful completion
of Engineering Technology I.
Advanced Technology Applications 8601900
The purpose of this course is to provide students
with the opportunity to develop a project from
"vision" to "reality". Working in teams, students
will plan, design, analyze, manufacture, test and
produce a finished project. The project will be a
capstone project, incorporating all of the
knowledge previously learned, not only in
technology education, but across the curriculum.
1 year; 1 weighted + vocational elective credit;
grade 12; prerequisite: Successful completion of
Engineering Technology I, II and III.
Note: Each of the preceding Engineering classes
could result in 3 semester hours of college credit
from University of West Florida after high school
graduation and completion of 15 semester hours
of other course work at UWF.
Design Technology IB 2003860
Along with Biology, Chemistry and Physics, this is
a group 4 experimental science course in the
International Baccalaureate Program. This course
is currently offered at the SL level. Design
technology is an applied science course that
covers the design process, product innovation,
green design, materials, product development,
product design and evaluation. Approximately 1/3
of the course is practical investigative work and
each student must complete a design project.
1 year; 1 weighted + elective credit; grades 11- 12;
prerequisite: Admission to the IB Program or
administrative approval.
