Engineering At Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute

What is Engineering? Engineering is a broad field with many different specialties, including: Robotics Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering

★ Engineering is all about finding a problem, coming up with a solution, and bringing the solution to life. In order to do that in a structured way, we use the Design Process.

Sophomore: At GPCI Freshman: ❏ Take IED ❏ Learn how to design 3 D models (Autodesk Auto. CAD) ❏ Learn to follow the Design Process to develop solutions ❏ Robotics I ❏ Take Principles of Engineering ❏ Digital/Aerospace Engineering ❏ Learn how to design circuits (NI Multisim) ❏ Learn the physics of flight and apply it in a flight simulator ❏ Build a Vans RV-12 Aircraft

Senior: At GPCI Junior: ❏ DE/AE (whichever is not taken the previous year) ❏ Robotics II ❏ Begin interview process for internships ❏ EDD ❏ Senior Projects ❏ Paid internships at Lockheed Martin, others.

Competitions and Events ❏ BEST Robotics, ❏ MATE, ❏ Skills. USA (ETD, Team Engineering, Applied Engineering, Other non-pathway specific competitions) ❏ Lockheed Martin internships - Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering
