Honors Engineering PhysicsPre-requisite
Geometry with minimum grade of C, Algebra 2 concurrently, and teacher recommendationCourse description
In Engineering Physics S1-S2; physics and mathematical concepts are applied to solving problems and deriving laws to help explain natural behavior. Topics covered include: kinematics; forces; momentum and impulse; energy and power; electrical circuits; and thermodynamics. Each unit is designed around an engineering component where students will apply their physics knowledge and the engineering design process. Emphasis is given to integrating science; technology; engineering; and math (STEM).
The Engineering Physics course is divided into two semesters. Each semester is divided into three units; along with labs conducted during each unit. Students will complete a Capstone Project at the end of the year. In addition to the Science and CTE content standards being addressed within each unit; the Arizona Workplace Employability Skills Standards and Measurement Criteria were used to ensure students are applying complex communication; collaboration; and expert thinking skills; as well as demonstrating intergenerational and cross-cultural competence; professionalism; initiative and self-direction in all classroom activities. Students will be given the opportunity to participate in the CTSO Skills USA competition.
