Interested in Introduction to Engineering Course for 10th Grader

[Barbara in NH]

My son is very interested in Engineering. He will have a full schedule next year, but I was hoping to find a course that would help him explore this possibility.

 

I was thinking something that would have basic principles & perhaps talk about the different types of engineering & the differences in study & career possibilities.

 

I did read the thread about the CLP Introduction of Engineering Profession & plan to investigate this further, but wondered if this might require too many hours with the other courses he'll be taking.

 

Any thoughts, recommendations or ideas for us.

 

Thanks,

Kareni-

 

Thanks for the link to the thread. I didn't see that one when I did a search before I posted. I'll be checking out the links in the next few days.

 

Margaret-

 

Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find out about the merit badge pamphlet & do a little leg work to see if that would answer some of his questions & help with direction.

 

Warmly,
