Engineering

Every course in the NAF curriculum library is open to Engineering academies, and we encourage you to use any of them to strengthen your program of study. You can teach a full course or pull a single lesson or unit to complement the curriculum you already use. Our cross-theme courses are a natural fit for engineering students. Delivering Great Service builds the client communication skills engineers rely on, and the AI Career Connections modules help students explore how AI is shaping technical careers. Principles of Finance PLUS is a great option for schools meeting personal finance requirements.

Coming next: During the 2026–27 school year, we’re redesigning Professional Ethics and Entrepreneurship, two cross-theme modules that pair well with engineering design, innovation, and project work. We’re also refreshing AI Career Connections, with the updated modules releasing in summer 2027.

Engineering Design Process Hub from Teach Engineering

The engineering design process is a series of steps that guides engineering teams as we solve problems. The design process is iterative, meaning that we repeat the steps as many times as needed, making improvements along the way as we learn from failure and uncover new design possibilities to arrive at great solutions.
