Engineering Design and Development allows students to apply what they have learned in academic and pre-engineering courses as they complete challenging, self-directed projects. Students work in teams to design and build solutions to authentic engineering problems. An engineer from the school’s partnership team mentors each student team. Ex- amples of projects may include a robotic mascot for the school, a remote- controlled hovercraft, or a solar-powered device. Students keep journals of notes, sketches, mathematical calculations, and scientific research. Student teams make progress reports to their peers, mentor, and instructor and exchange construc- tive criticism and consultation. At the end of the course, teams present a re- search paper and defend their projects to a panel of engineers, business lead- ers, and engineering college educators for professional review and feedback. This course equips students with the independent study skills needed to be successful in postsecondary education and careers in engineering and engi- neering technology. College Credit Options Three credit options are available One: If you intend to earn an Associate Degree in Engineering, you can earn one credit of ENGR 101 (Introduction to the Profession) and three credits for ENGR 113 (Engineering Design Microcomputer Applications) if you complete Intro- duction to Engineering Design (IED), Principles of Engineering (POE), and any third qualifying PLTW engineering course with 80% (B) or better average AND if you earn 70% or better on the national PLTW end-of-course exams for at least two of the three courses counted above. Two: If you intend to earn an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Engineering Technology with an emphasis in Mechanical/Manufacturing, or an AAS in Computer Aided Drafting and Design, you can earn one credit for ENGR 101 (Introduction to the Profession) and three credits for ETEC 270 (Parametric Modeling) if you complete Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) and Principles of Engineering (POE) courses with an 80% (B) or better average AND you earn 70% or better on the national PLTW end-of-course exams for at least one of the two courses above. Three: If you intend to earn an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Engineering Technology with an empha- sis in Electronics or Computer & Electronics, you can earn one credit of ENGR 101 (Introduction to the Profession), three credits of ETEC 130 (Digital Electronics), and three credits for ETEC 240 (Design Project) if you complete Introduction to Engineering Design (IED), Principles of Engineering (POE), Digital Electronics (DE), and Engineering Design and Devel- opment (EDD) courses with an 80% (B) or better average AND you earn 70% or better on the national PLTW end-of- course exam for Digital Electronics (DE).

The Career and Technology Center is a member of the Metropolitan Community Colleges' Tech Prep Consortium. MCC recognizes the high level of programs at the CTC and awards college credit to students who meet the college’s crite- ria. Many of our programs offer dual credit that is awarded upon completion of the course requirements and allow stu- dents to take the credit to colleges and universities other than the MCC. Some of our programs offer articulated credit, which is earned at the CTC, but is awarded after graduation and upon successful completion of the first semester at the college that is offering the credit. These dual and articulated credits allow students to graduate from high school with up to a se- mester or more of college already completed. Earning college credit requires the student to meet the college’s criteria on grade point average (GPA) from their home high school, suc- cessful completion of the CTC program, and an appropriate score on one of several standardized tests (such as the TABE, ACT, or the college’s ASSET). Industry Recognized Credential (IRC) A portable, recognized credential (tangible evidence) that vali- dates and individual has successfully demonstrated skill com- petencies in a core set of content and performance standards in a specific set of work-related tasks, single occupational area, or a cluster of related areas. Students earning IRC’s have a head start in many career and post-secondary paths.
