COSTA MESA HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING
Course Code: KT355/356
Year-long, 10 credits
UC/CSU approved “d” or Science
In this second course of the four-course pathway, students explore a broad range
of engineering topics, including mechanisms, the strength of structures and materials, and automation. Students develop skills in problem solving, research, and
design. VEX Robotics is heavily featured in this course.
Prerequisites: Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
Course Code: KT362/363
Year-long, 10 credits
UC/CSU approved “d” or Science
This course propels students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and
space flight. As they explore the physics of flight, students bring the concepts to
life by designing an airfoil, propulsion system, and rockets. Students learn basic orbital mechanics using industry-standard software. They also explore robot systems
through projects such as remotely operated vehicles.
Prerequisites: Principles of Engineering (POE)
