Description

As a result of the rapid expansion of scientific knowledge during the second half of the twentieth century and the concurrent advances in a wide array of new technologies, there is an ever-increasing demand for skilled professionals in the engineering and technological fields. At UHSSE, students are given the opportunity to learn about career opportunities in engineering and to develop the skills needed to successfully pursue engineering at the college level. Goals Students will obtain the basic theoretical knowledge and skills to successfully pursue many engineering disciplines at the college level. Students will be introduced to: the design process, teamwork, project management, 3D solid modeling, prototyping, testing and evaluation, technical communication, programming, materials, methods of fabrication, control systems, statics, kinematics, and thermodynamics. Students will understand engineering principles and methodologies to demonstrate solutions to real world problems. Students will demonstrate their engineering knowledge in a senior capstone course.
