ENGINEERING MAGNET 3071: Introduction to Engineering* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Placement in Honors Algebra II or higher 3073: Engineering Physics* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: B or better in Engineering Physics I This course explores the topic of engineering. Students will learn how to formulate, articulate, and solve problems, how to work on a team to design things, and how to present the results of engineering work in oral and written form. Students will also learn about the different disciplines of engineering and the multidisciplinary nature of modern engineering design. This course is designed to teach students the application of the principles of mechanics and energy as they apply to the design of machines and various mechanical devices. Students will learn how to model, design, and build automated control systems, robots, solar cars, engines, thermodynamics and heat systems, etc. including the use of computer-aided design. Students will study topics including motion, forces, energy and structures (kinematics, statics and dynamics). 3072: Engineering Physics: Electrical, Magnetic and Nuclear* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: B or better in Introduction to Engineering and Placement in AP Calculus AB or higher ENGINEERING MAGNET The Engineering Magnet gives advanced students the opportunity to take challenging, college level courses beyond anything offered by the AP program and is designed to accommodate students who plan to major in engineering or related fields. These courses are the core of our Engineering Magnet Program, but may also be taken by students outside the program who excel in mathematics and science. Please see the Department Chair or your counselor for more details. 3074: Engineering Physics: Dynamics, Oscillations and Optics* Prerequisite: B or better in AP Physics C and B or better Engineering Physics II This course provides the application of science to solve the real-life problems that involves the designing of various structures (buildings, bridges, dams, pipelines, transportation systems and facilities, infrastructures, etc.) by means of models. These models are built using the AutoCAD software that helps students with the tools they need to create coordinated, reliable design information and deliver higher quality construction documentation for transportation, land development, and environmental projects. This course is designed to give students the fundamentals of electrical engineering as it applies to electrical circuits, electronics and electrical systems. Students will use the physical concepts of charge, energy, current and voltage to understand factors that determine resistance, capacitance and inductance as well as relate these factors to practical devices. In addition, students will use basic circuit laws to mathematically analyze circuits and perform electrical measurements with meters and oscilloscopes. Finally, students will learn to use matrices to analyze electrical circuits and learn how to solve first and second order linear differential equations associated with basic circuit forms. 15 WWW.FAIRMONTSCHOOLS.COM
