The Engineering academy provides students with opportunities to learn about various engineering skills and complete various projects similar to those that real engineers work on. Engineering uses project-based learning to provide hands-on activities for students to apply engineering skills. 

During the junior year of the Engineering academy, the will following the Project Lead The Way curriculum.  Over the course of the year, students are exposed to engineering field, teamwork, designing investigations, the engineering design process, simple machines and mechanical advantage, circuits and microprocessors, and GIS software. The first year of engineering is vital for any student wanting to pursue engineering, as it builds a solid foundation for the upcoming senior. Students will work towards earning their Autodesk Fusion Certified User industry certification.

Senior year, the students learn AutoCAD, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, green engineering, and remote controlled VEX robots. They also build and test cardboard boats in the school pool. Students finish the year by doing a Senior Portfolio Project.  Students earn two industry certifications over the course of the year- Autodesk Autocad Certified User and Project Management Institute's Project Management Ready. 

The academy features projects oriented to specific fields of engineering. This feature enables instruction in complex projects involving multi-faceted project teams by providing instruction oriented to four key engineering disciplines: mechanical, electrical, civil, and environmental.

Students will have the opportunity to earn an industry certification as an AutoCAD Certified User.

The academy uniform shirt is navy blue with the engineering logo and is available at Custom Apparel.
