Walton Engineering Courses


  • The Walton Engineering Pathway encompasses three or more years of Honors Engineering courses in the following sequence:  Intro to Engineering, Principles of Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and/or Digital Electronics.  The third level course will alternate between Digital Electronics on odd graduation years and Aerospace Engineering on even graduation years.  Throughout these courses, students will learn about the Engineering and Design Process and how it applies to the various disciplines of Engineering.  Students learn through team-oriented project-based learning using industry-level software and equipment.  Upon completion of three years of Engineering courses, students will have the option of taking the End of Pathway Exam.  This exam is created by NOCTI.org, a nationally recognized organization focused on preparing students for the professional workforce.  Students successfully passing the End of Pathway Exam will be recognized with a seal on their diploma acknowledging completion of the pathway.  

    Please note: At this time, students must complete the Aerospace Engineering course in order to take the End of Pathway Exam.
