Through an engineering lens, Engineering Computer Science offers students the opportunity to explore the seven big ideas of computer science (creativity, abstraction, data, algorithms, programming, internet, and impact); apply mathematical and scientific principles to solve problems through programming, and learn and apply the foundations of computer science to address real-world problems. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.

The course is based on concepts outlined by the College Board and prepares students to take the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles Examination.
