Building the future of tomorrow

The STEM Engineering Program empowers students to step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make the leap from dreamers to doers, the foundation of any engineering discipline. The program’ s courses engage students in compelling, real-world challenges that help them become better collaborators and thinkers. Students take from the courses in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.

Engineering 1: Engineering Essentials (Year 1)

This course provides students with the opportunities to explore the range of engineering career opportunities while offering a multidisciplinary approach. Through research, problem solving, collaboration, and designing creative solutions to real-world problems, students will have the foundational concepts of the engineering practice.

Engineering 2: Introduction to Engineering Design (Year 2)

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software and use an engineering notebook to document their work.

Engineering 3: Principles of Engineering (Year 3)

Students explore how modern engineers help improve the world through diverse engineering fields, such as product design, mechanical design, infrastructure, and sustainability. Students apply science and mathematical concepts to evaluate designs and use some of the cutting-edge tools engineers use in robotics, 3D modeling, programming, and prototyping.

Engineering 4: Civil Engineering and Architecture (Year 4)

Students are introduced to important aspects of building and site design and development. They apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using the 3D architectural design software. Students will develop skill in engineering calculations, technical representation and documentation of design solutions according to accepted technical standards, and use of current 3D architectural design and modeling software to represent and communicate solutions.

Engineering 4: Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Year 4)

TStudents discover and explore manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation. Students build upon their Computer Aided Design (CAD) experience through the use of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. CAM transforms a digital design into a program that a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) mill uses to transform a block of raw material into a product designed by a student. Students learn and apply concepts related to integrating robotic systems such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and robotic arms into manufacturing systems. Then apply what they have learned to design solutions for real-world manufacturing problems.

Engineering 4: Digital Electronics (Year 4)

From smartphones to appliances, digital circuits are all around us. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices.
