Summit Engineering Program Opportunities There is a lot more to being a successful engineering student than academic skills. Technical writing, public speaking and the ability to work with others are all essential skills that are valued by employers and post-secondary institutions. The Summit Engineering program will give students opportunities to hone their technical writing and public speaking skills as they document and present their projects. Guest speakers, field experiences and possible mentorships from engineering companies will enrich the program. Students will be able to see the wide range of possibilities an engineering degree can provide them. www.cariboo.sd41.bc.ca Building a foundation for a École Cariboo Hill Secondary 8580 16th Avenue Burnaby, BC V3N 2L6 career in Engineering Phone: 604-664-8568 Fax: 604-664-8320 E-mail: [email protected] a STEM program Summit Engineering Program Pro g ram Details The Summit Engineering program is a three-year program offered at École Cariboo Hill Secondary that is designed to prepare students for entry into post-secondary engineering. The following courses are required for the Summit Engineering Diploma. With the exception of the Engineering Projects courses, all of these are required for entrance into Engineering programs at UBC, SFU and BCIT. The Projects courses will give prospective Engineering students the distinct advantage of having practical experience to compliment the theories. Beginning in Grade 10, students take an Engineering Projects course that uses the math and science knowledge in practical applications. The focus is on connecting the theory to its uses in the field of engineering. In Grade 11, students will continue with the Engineering Projects course and work on more advanced projects as their math and science knowledge base expands. For Grade 12, students will complete a Capstone Project in their chosen domain to complete the program and earn the Engineering Summit Diploma. The Summit Engineering Program offers: • Enrichment to the regular high school curriculum • Opportunity to make connections between academic subjects and practical applications • A strong foundation for entrance to a post-secondary engineering • Opportunities to problem solve in a collaborative, creative environment Grade 10: Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10 Engineering Projects 10 Grade 11: Pre-Calculus Math 11 Physics 11 Chemistry 11 Engineering Projects 11 Grade 12: Pre-Calculus Math 12 Physics 12 Chemistry 12 Calculus 12 (recommended) Engineering Projects 12
