- Use a structured approach to solving problems including, defining a problem (including customer needs), brainstorming, researching and generating ideas, identifying criteria and constraints, exploring possibilities, making a model (physical, mathematical, conceptual), evaluating the solution using standards and specifications (testing), and communicating results
- Apply fundamental scientific laws and principles relevant to engineering and technology to a variety of problems involving mechanical, fluid, electrical and thermal systems
- Apply mathematical laws and principles relevant to engineering and technology and use industry standard tools and precise systems of measurement to collect and analyze data, help make decisions, and create models
- Prepare for a wide variety of engineering careers such as mechanical, software, architectural, civil/structural, electrical, chemical, and mining, and in many cases earn UA College of Engineering credit (speak with your high school counselor)
