Westfield High – STEM Engineering

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Corequisite: Algebra II or teacher approval For students interested in engineering, this course builds a solid foundation to move forward in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum. Students are introduced conceptually and analytically to the primary concepts in the four classic engineering disciplines civil, mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering. Students will explore and develop college level engineering problems in these areas while working as real world collaborative teams. By applying STEM concepts to design problems students will dramatically improve their use of mathematics (Trigonometry and Algebra II), computer simulations, scientific analysis, oral and technical writing skills during this course. This course provides for orientation to the careers and challenges of engineering. Students are actively involved with high-tech devices, engineering graphics, and mathematics/scientific principles through problem-solving and critical thinking experiences.
