Are you more of a STEMist than a STEMgineer? Refer to the Brandywine School District Science Stem Program of Study and the STE(A)M Program of Study that encompasses concentrations in Art or Music. Visit http://brandywineschools.org/Page/49 to learn more.

STEM Education in the Brandywine School District seeks to produce more students who are both passionate and prepared to become tomorrow’s scientists and engineers. The STEM Programs of Study are dedicated to providing relevant content and capable teachers who challenge and inspire our students to display the vision and courage necessary to persevere through the rigorous modes of though expected in the pursuit of STEM related careers.

The STEM Programs of Study shown below are aligned with Engineering Education

Engineering Technology emphasizes the development of state-‐of-‐ the-‐art solutions for open-‐ended design problems.

Engineering emphasizes design, simulation, analysis, and proto-‐typing of products or systems.

Since the Design and Engineering pathway is supported through Career and Technical Education funds, it must follow state and federal guidelines that ensure that students are prepared for high skill, high demand, and high wage jobs. Therefore:

£ If you pass Design & Engineering I, you can earn an elective credit, but you need a B or better to get into Design & Engineering II. (This ensures that you are prepared AND committed to go forward with a career in Engineering.)

£ You should have Algebra I before you take Design & Engineering II. (This is meant to ensure that you are on track to later incorporate advanced mathematics to advanced topics in engineering.)

£ If you take Design & Engineering II, you MUST take Design & Engineering III before you graduate. (Part of the program’s evaluation is measured on pathway completion rates.)

£ Only 10th and 11th graders can take Design & Engineering II. (12th graders cannot possibly take Design & Engineering II & III in the same year and complete the pathway)

£ Design & Engineering Classes are sequential and should not be taken at the same time. (Each course in the pathway builds on prior knowledge AND federal law dictates sequential courses.)

£ As you complete the Design & Engineering pathway, you must complete a STEM Program of Study (The integration of Math and Science is integral to Engineering. More on the STEM Programs of Study are on the back.)

Engineering Education at Brandywine, Concord, and Mount Pleasant provides a well-‐equipped facility with knowledgeable and inspiriting educators who are dedicated to preparing ready students for futures in Engineering and Engineering Technology.

Design & Engineering I -‐ This freshman level course provides the necessary foundations of the High School Design & Engineering pathway. Using computer-‐centric technologies and team-‐oriented tasks, students will apply and document the engineering process to design, build, and test physical prototypes. Students in this course will be exposed to various software and strategies for designing, identifying problems, prototyping and solving real world, ethical and philosophical design dilemmas.

Recommendation: C or better in Algebra I or a B or better in Pre-‐Algebra [CIP:21.040311 Pathway Code 14.01]

Design & Engineering II -‐ This sophomore level course is for students committed to completing the Processes of Design & Engineering Pathway by taking Design & Engineering III the following year. Major emphasis will be placed on CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) to solve engineering problems and develop innovative products. Students will also deepen their understanding of materials, energy, and structures and apply these concepts to green design, sustainable development, and advanced manufacturing techniques.

Prerequisite: A or B in Design & Engineering I or teacher recommendation. [CIP:21.040312 Pathway Code 14.01]

Design & Engineering III -‐ This course is mandatory for students who completed Design & Engineering II as this is the cumulating class of the Design & Engineering pathway. This junior level course will focus on EPD (Electronic Product Design) beginning with basic electronics and building up to digital logic, operational amplifiers, programmable interface controllers, and communication systems. Student projects will incorporate global standards for digital electronic products, the smart home, and the disposal of electronic products.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of Design & Engineering II. [CIP:21.040313 Pathway Code 14.01]

Engineering Design Lab -‐ This course serves as the capstone course to the Design & Engineering pathway and as the central course for the STEM Programs of Study. The course will focus on engineering projects that emphasize team design while making cross-‐curricular connections to advanced topics in the physical sciences and mathematics. Skills in CAD/CAM and EPD will be advanced in a lab environment throughout the development of engineering projects.

Recomendation: Successful completion of Processes of Design & Engineering Pathway OR participation in the STEM Program of Study. Students in the STEM Program of Study must have taken or currently be enrolled in Honors, IB or AP Chemistry, Honors, IB or AP Physics, and Honors, IB or AP Calculus. [CIP:21.040914 Pathway Code 14.01 -‐ Physical Technology Research & Development IV]

The courses that are part of the Design & Engineering pathway are for students who wish to prepare for futures in Engineering and Engineering Technology. Students will focus on the design, simulation, analysis, and proto-typing of products & systems and solutions to open-ended design problems. A minimum of three years is required to complete the pathway, however, students are strongly encouraged to complete four years as part of the STEM Program of Study that includes higher levels of mathematics and science.
