​north classes

First Year

Picture

Introduction to Engineering Design
(1 year)

Learn the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects while working both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D CAD modeling software.  Students use their hand and power tool and design skills to give back to local organizations by participating in a variety of design projects.  Students must previous received A-C grades in their math and science classes. Students receiving high enough end of course exam scores are eligible to receive WSU Engineering Graphics credit for this course.

Second Year

Aerospace Engineering & Lab
​(1 year)

Learn the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. Explore the physics of flight by bringing the concepts to life by designing an airfoil, propulsion system, and rockets while learning basic orbital mechanics using industry-standard software. Apply what is being taught in Aerospace Engineering by building a FAA certified kit plane under the mentorship of Airbus engineers while receiving credit through WSU Tech.

CATIA WSU Tech Block
(semester or year long)

Engineering Work-based Learning
​(semester or year long)​

For seniors who have completed IED and POE. This capstone course involves researching an open‐ended problem and then design and construct a solution to it, submitting progress reports and a final research paper followed by an oral presentation. 
​Drawings include technical details and specify dimensions, materials, and procedures. Drafters fill in technical details using drawings, rough sketches, specifications, and calculations made by engineers or scientists. Engineering Designs in Wichita earn an average of $29.08 per hour.  WSU Tech Block classes are FREE for high school students.
Seniors are able to leave for 20 hours/week to work in local engineering companies.  Must have 2 class periods.
