ENGINEERING CAREERS
The Engineering Careers
program is designed for highly motivated students who intend to enter a college
engineering program after high school. The program emphasizes the preparation
of each student for the rigorous natural sciences, mathematics, and computer
programming courses required for the mastery of an engineering curriculum. In
addition, the Engineering Careers program exposes students to the different
disciplines of the profession. This enables each student to test his/her decision
to choose engineering and evaluate possible college engineering majors.
Students are exposed to a combination of lectures, labs, and guest speakers
from the engineering profession and local colleges. College credit is granted
for selected courses.
