Working in teams, students will design, research, and build prototypes of real-world systems. Units of study include design processes, design of structures, computer-aided processes, quality assurance, electrical systems, and control engineering. Opportunities will be provided to work with business and industry through class-based activities, an industry interview project, and an optional internship. For more information contact the Chantilly Academy web site . Activities are provided in descriptive geometry, materials science, and technical systems.
Students communicate information through seminars, technical reports, and sharing of ideas.
Physics of Technology is for students who are interested in science, engineering, and technology but whose mathematics study is limited to Algebra 1. The course addresses all of the physics standards through specific engineering and physics concepts as well as process skills such as research, experimental design, and communication. The course emphasizes a systems approach utilized in our technological society and mathematical rigor in gaining understanding of engineering and physics concepts.
