Engineering 12*

Students should be achieving at least 80% in both Science 10 and Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-calculus 10 by Spring Break. Engineering 12 presumes solid skills with mathematics, physics and computer applications. This is a research- and project-based course. Students work in teams to learn fundamental conceptual models, analysis, design, problem-solving, teamwork and technical communication skills. Students develop several hands-on design projects as they become familiar with various engineering disciplines. Engineering case-studies and ethics, appropriate technology and development engineering, simulation and optimization, graphical communication and modeling, and engineering finance are introduced. Engineering faculties use broad-based criteria to evaluate student interest, experiences and leadership in engineering as well as academic results. Students interested in careers in engineering/technology are encouraged to enroll. This course satisfies the science requirement for graduation and will appear on the student's transcript as "Specialized Science 12". Engineering 12 and Health Sciences 12 will be offered in alternate years. For 2026-2027, Health Sciences 12 will be offered.
