ENGINEERING PATHWAY

he Engineering Pathway introduces students to the world of engineering by combining design thinking, structural problem-solving, and hands-on building. Students take their ideas from concept to creation through prototyping real-world products, structures, and solutions. Working in teams, they apply technical skills and creative thinking to tackle authentic challenges from industry partners and community clients. Along the way, students learn from professional engineers, explore a wide range of engineering careers from civil and mechanical to product and systems design and build a portfolio that showcases their experience, creativity, and technical growth.
