•Academy Courses: • Intro to Engineering Design (IED)

• Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects like designing a new toy or improving an existing product.

• Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)• Students discover and explore manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation, and

then they apply what they have learned to design solutions for real-world manufacturing problems.

• Principles of Engineering (POE)• Students explore a broad range of engineering topics including mechanisms, strength of structure and

materials, and automation, and then they apply what they know to take on challenges like designing a self-powered car.

• Civil Engineering & Architecture (CEA)• Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development, and then they apply what

they know to design residential and commercial buildings.

• Aerospace Engineering (AE) • Students explore the physics of flight and bring what they’re learning to life through hands-on

projects like designing a glider and creating a program for an autonomous space rover.

What is an Academy?

&

What are some benefits?

Multiyear courses: The curriculum includes three or four year-long courses that are infused into the core academics.

Project-based learning: This gives students the chance to apply what they've learned to a real-world problem, which helps make school relevant.

Community partnerships: Academies need the support and participation of local businesses and industries for funding and resources and for opportunities for job shadowing, internships, and mentorships.

What is an Academy?

&

What are some benefits?

The academies prepare students for college and career, including careers after high school: Students possess the academic and technical abilities to succeed in college, apprenticeships, community college certification programs, and skilled jobs.

They create an engaging curriculum: Students apply academics to real-world issues and situations through project-based learning, internships(paid), and job shadowing.

They place value on life skills: Teaching students to work collaboratively, think critically, and solve problems is as important as teaching them academic knowledge.
