  Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) based
  initiatives to help students make real world
  connections in math and science.
• THEME The occurrence of natural or man mad
  disaster in a populated area is the scenario for
  the strand which will wind its way through the
  course. Students will apply engineering design
  and development prototype models to solve a
  variety of real world problems.

• course is designed to correlate with Physics.
• EPA GT promotes Science, Technology, Engineering
  and Mathematics (STEM) based initiatives that
  help students make real world connections in math
  and science.
• The course utilizes engineering challenges to
  apply engineering concepts studied in the class.
• Areas of focus include design, electronics,
  robotics, aerospace, and civil engineering. Major
  projects Robotics, Mouse Trap Vehicles

• Advanced Design Applications
• consists of four units including Manufacturing,
  Energy / Power, Construction and Transportation.
• This is a hands on class in which students use
  CAD to design an alternative energy house then
  create a model of the house as well as construct
  prototype models to solve engineering challenge
  problems.

• In Advanced Technological Applications, students
  study four components of the Designed World,
  including Information Technology, Agriculture /
  Bio-related Technologies, Medical, and
  Entertainment/Recreation.
• Students create public service announcements to
  demonstrate focusing on Medical, Agriculture and
  Bio-related Technologies.
