Engineering Principles 2

Students go beyond what they have learned in Engineering Principles I to explore additional aspects of mechanical and civil engineering topics. Topics include: statics, strengths of materials, and materials testing; kinematics; probability and statistics; fluid power; and machine control systems. In addition to including approximately half of the PLTW POE content, Advanced Engineering Principles challenges students to complete additional related, extended projects of interest.
