MVHS Engineering Pathway
The Engineering Pathway at Mountain View High School engages students in the engineering design process through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Students explore mechanical, civil, aerospace, and systems engineering concepts while applying math, science, and technology to solve real-world problems.
Through design challenges, modeling, testing, and collaboration, students develop critical thinking, creativity, and technical skills. This pathway prepares students for postsecondary studies in engineering, technology, and related STEM fields while building strong problem-solving and teamwork skills.
| Level 1 Class |
8400/8401- Introduction to Engineering and Design Learn about the engineering design process and how to apply math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects while building 3D modeling skills |
Students must complete 1.0 credits in level 1 before moving to level 2. |
| Level 2 Class |
8402/8403- Principles of Engineering Explore diverse engineering fields, such as, mechanical design, robotics, energy systems, and infrastructure. |
Students must complete 1.0 credits in level 1 and 2 before moving to level 3. |
| Level 3 Class |
8410/8411- Aerospace Engineering Explore the physics of flight and space through software simulations and hand-on experiences while designing and testing an airfoil, propulsion system, and a rocket. |
Students must complete 1.0 credit in level 1, 2, and 3 before moving to level 4. |
| Level 4 Class |
8414/8415- Engineering Design and Development Students identify a real-world challenge and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their unique solutions to a panel of engineers. |
