PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING IS THE SECOND OF THE FOUR COURSE SEQUENCE AT HHCC AND THE ACADEMY.
PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING COVERS MANY AREAS. THE PICTURE ABOVE SHOWS A DEVICE, USING SIMPLE MACHINES, DESIGNED TO LIFT TEN POUNDS WITH ONLY A COUPLE OUNCES OF EFFORT.
IN ADDITION TO SIMPLE MACHINES, STUDENTS WILL STUDY D.C. CIRCUITS, FLUID MECHANICS, STATICS, THERMODYNAMICS, KINEMATICS, STATISTICS, AND CONTROL SYSTEMS. ALL SUBJECTS ARE AT A LEVEL APPROPRIATE TO A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WITH AT LEAST ALGEBRA ONE EXPERIENCE.

STUDENTS MEASURE THE DISTANCE THE PING PONG BALL TRAVELED AFTER BEING FIRED, AT A KNOWN ANGLE, FROM THE HOME MADE BALLISTIC DEVICE. THEY WILL CALCULATE THE INITIAL VELOCITY, AND THEN BE ABLE TO CALCULATE WHAT ANGLE IS NEEDED FOR A GIVEN DISTANCE.
