ACS Courses

Engineering I (YR)

In this first-year course, students develop an understanding of effective problem solving and machine/robotics design while exploring fundamental engineering concepts including statics (objects of equilibrium), dynamics (objects in acceleration), sensor and control system function, and elementary logic programming.

Two semesters, two credits, open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Engineering II (YR)

This second-year course is open to students who have successfully completed Engineering I and have instructor approva. This level expands on the skills developed in Engineering I, introducing students to advanced programming, designing with 3D CAD software, generating custom designs, fabrication with rapid prototyping, and preliminary development of an advanced project that will carry over to Engineering III.

Two semesters, two credits, open to juniors and seniors.

Engineering III (YR)

In this third-year course, students who have successfully completed Engineering II and have instructor approval will continue to expand skills and knowledge in engineering and problem solving. Students will complete a high-level project (begun in Engineering II) with the possibility of entering this project into a competitive engineering event.

Two semesters, two credits, open to seniors.
