Academy of Engineering
Goals
- Learn about the wide variety of fields of engineering and non-engineering careers, and what engineers actually do on the job.
- Explore how products are designed and evolve from concept to completion.
- Learn how engineers communicate.
- Understand and apply design principles
- Demonstrate the use of principles learned in other academic classes, such as math and English.
- Work with students to design products.

Academy of Engineering Teacher Profiles
Mr. Michaelis was raised in San Jose and went to UC San Diego for college. Not only is he the head of the Engineering Department he is the AP Chemistry teacher. He teaches first year Academy of Engineering
Ms. Peyser was raised in New York and studied geology in college and geophysics in grad school. She decided to teach after college, taught in West High School then James Lick for one year then at Burton, This being her 2nd year. She Teaches Physics and Engineering.
POE Course (Principles of Engineering) explores technology systems and manufacturing processes: addresses the social and political consequences of technological change. In this course we will use student presentation. Hands-on projects, lectures and problems sets to explore the various topics in engineering. This class will prepare students for college or the workforce, and most importantly help them understand engineering!POE (Principals of Engineering) Standards covered
- Standards for Technology Literacy: 1-20
- National Science Education Standards: A-F
- Principles and Standards for School Mathematics
- Standards for the English Language Arts: 1-12
IED (Intro to Engineering) The course covers the following:
- The Role of an Engineer
- The Design Process
- Product Design
- Product Analysis and Improvement
- Designing as an Engineer
Goals
Students in Introduction to Engineering Design will. Learn about the wide variety of fields of engineering and non-engineering careers, and what engineers actually do on the job. They'll explore how products are designed and evolve from concept to completion. While learning how engineers communicate, and understand and apply design principles. Demonstrate the use of principles learned in other academic classes, such as math and English Work with students to design products, also to gain an understanding of ethical professional behavior.
