Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields are growing at a rate almost twice as fast as other non-STEM jobs. Students who participate in the Engineering and Technology pathway will develop skills that will transfer to careers in one of the many different fields of engineering. These careers are high demand, high wage careers and offer unique opportunities to be a part of engineering the future of our society. 

The Engineering and Technology pathway classes have a manufacturing focus based on local industry needs. The four main content strands are additive manufacturing, CAD/CAM, precision measurement/quality, and mechatronics and robotics. This is accomplished through real-world hands-on projects and training on industry equipment such as 3D printers, CNC mill and router, laser engraver, and collaborative robots. Students may also earn industry-recognized credentials.

The co-curricular student organization for the Engineering and Technology pathway is Technology Student Association (TSA). TSA provides opportunities for students to expand both their technological skills as well as leadership skills to fulfill the organization’s motto, “Learning to Lead in a Technical World.” TSA provides opportunities for leadership, competition, community service, career planning, and understanding technology.

The Engineering and Technology Pathway consists of three courses:

• Foundations of Engineering and Technology

• Engineering Concepts

• Engineering Applications

After completing the pathway, students may continue their engineering coursework through the STEM production class, work-based learning placements, or dual enrollment courses.
