This is an intensive three-year academy that enables you to look at different types of engineering while emphasizing higher academics. You will study pre-engineering through Project-Lead-the-Way curriculum that will introduce you to the concepts and principles of engineering, with a strong emphasis on developing problem solving skills. You will also study advanced math courses that may include Advanced  Algebra II, Advanced Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus, and AP Physics as well as advanced science courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Advanced Chemistry, and AP Biology. When you complete the program, you will have been exposed to a diverse curriculum that will better equip you to choose a major at the college/university level. You will also have the strong math and science foundation needed to enter a college/university program in a science related field.
