Rebel Engineers create what others only imagine!
In the engineering program, students can gain industry certification in Computer Aided Design (CAD), create functioning prototypes and build their engineering skills. Students also learn about different career paths, presentation building and ethics in a project-based learning environment, and have access to our purpose-designed, on-campus MakerSpace!
As Freshmen, Rebel Engineers learn about careers, presentation building, ethics, and beginning making (creating prototypes). We also learn the beginning steps for computer aided design (CAD) using Solidworks for our canvas.
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors learn more engineering skills and become proficient with professional presentations and computer aided designs, while also creating prototypes that function in the real world.
This course is an exciting and engaging course developed to inspire the next generation of engineers. You will have the option of pursuing College Freshman Level Engineering Credit at the University of Texas (which may be valid at other Texas public colleges; check with individual colleges for specifics) through the Dual Enrollment option.
This course will introduce the techniques of design, testing, redesigning, and analyzing the final product. Projects will expose you to many different disciplines in engineering and the projects will be based on real hands-on devices. Students will work in small teams applying engineering techniques to produce the best products with the best solutions. Collaborative, student-directed projects will build resilient problem-solving skills and empower students to learn to think like engineers, adopt engineering processes, and to pursue engineering disciplines that may be of interest to them.
Industry Certification: Solidworks CAD
Articulated Credit: 3-4 credit hours each year, beginning in the sophomore year.
