ENGINEERING
REQUIRED FOR COE STUDENTS, OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS
COURSE TITLE: MODELING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING GRADE LEVEL : 10 - PG PREREQUISITES: Algebra I DURATION: One term This term-long course introduces the various methods used for problem solving in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Mathematical, physical, and descriptive modeling strategies are introduced through active group projects with minimal instruction and opportunities for a variety of innovative solutions. Students learn how to develop, implement, and select the most appropriate modeling strategies for solving problems in diverse fields of study. Group projects at the conclusion of the course will allow students to put their culmination of knowledge into practice while solving real-world problems. Students will further develop their communication, critical thinking, and reasoning skills through the collaborative nature of the course. 21

DESIGN PRINCIPLES 10 - PG Algebra I One term
This term-long course allows students the opportunity to have a taste of what being a design engineer is really like. This largely project-based experiential course introduces the spectrum from aesthetics to performance in design decision making, before leading students through a series of design cycles mimicking the processes typically encountered in the engineering industry, using some of the industry-standard tools. Individual and group projects will support the overall understanding of computer-aided design (CAD), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and finite element analysis (FEA) software by walking students through the creation of a radio-controlled aeroplane design and the conceptualisation of a deployable bridge for humanitarian applications, culminating in a competitive physical testing process discovering how much weight each 3D printed bridge design holds before destruction.
