Engineering Careers

Pre-Engineering is a project-based class focused on learning the basic principles of engineering and design. Students learn the design process and select an area in which to compete. Students may select from a variety of competitions including: robotics, motorsports, architecture and aerospace. Competition allows students to apply the principles and mechanics of engineering in a hands-on environment.
