INFORMATION ABOUT NFC ACADEMY'S ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL engineering COURSES

engineering courses online (high School)


STUDYING ENGINEERING 
ENGINEERING COURSES 
Engineering is the application of scientific knowledge to solving problems in the real world. Engineers are problem solvers, organizers, communicators, calculators, and designers. These skills rely heavily on rational thinking and logical decision making, which is why most engineers come from science and mathematics backgrounds.

There are many branches and fields within the various engineering disciplines.  All Engineering degrees are based on one (or a combination) of the 4 major disciplines of Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. 

  • Engineering  and Design - .5 credit
  • Engineering and Product Development - .5 credit

Engineering courses are one semester courses. There are academic requirements needed to be approved to take these specialty courses including a minimum of 3.5 GPA in the college preparatory math program and the ability to conduct independent research using skillful analytics along with critical thinking skills.


ENGINEERING and DESIGN
Picture
Engineering and Design is part of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and career path. By building real-world problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, students learn how to innovate and design new products and improve existing products. Students are introduced to the engineering design process to build new products and to the reverse engineering process, which enables engineers to adjust any existing product. Parallels and analogies from Scriptural examples will firmly seat the course in Bible truth, since God is the master engineer, designer, and creator of everything. Popular topics and issues that are politically controversial will be explored from a Biblical perspective. A second and equally important emphasis will address how fluid power is used by engineers to make difficult maneuvers easier, increasing efficiency and minimizing effects on the environment. Students will then identify how engineering and design have a direct impact on environmental sustainability and economic greening, with Bible principles incorporated when appropriate. Finally, students will incorporate the engineering design process, environmental life cycle, and green engineering principles to create a decision matrix to learn how to solve environmental issues, while identifying how following God’s original principles would have avoided producing those issues in the first place.

ENGINEERING and PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Picture
Engineers address society's needs and problems by designing and producing products and services. The field is diverse and includes Christian professionals who design skyscrapers, design machinery, oversee public works, and develop software and systems.

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the concepts of product engineering and development from a Christ-centered perspective. Students will analyze the life cycle of a product to prepare it for distribution and target markets. The course begins with building an understanding of the product life cycle, from the initial idea to drafting requirements to using 3-D modeling tools and other design tools. The final unit focuses on assembling project plan pieces for a product and evaluating the plans for a successful product launch. In addition, the course will provide information about the different careers available to students interested in engineering, product development, and project management, as well as, organizations that provide encouragement to Christian engineers.

For topics in this course, it is helpful for students to be familiar with general concepts about engineering, as well as the basics of accessing IT tools and resources for conducting research on web sites. If students are not familiar with these topics, it is important for them to familiarize themselves with online resources for engineering and product development.
