This structured, yet flexible high school program offers students in-depth, hands-on knowledge of engineering and technology-based careers. The three-tiered approach to learning flows from foundation courses, to specialization courses, to a capstone course. Students will learn engineering design and explore technology systems and manufacturing processes. Logical thought processes are built through “Activity based Project based Problem based” (APPB) learning experiences in the program. Students will formulate solutions to open-ended engineering questions. The program prepares students for careers and further study in design, engineering, and related fields.
