Engineering & Architecture
Watch Your Child’s Ideas Take Shape
If your child loves to solve problems, build things, or figure out how things work, this pathway could be the perfect fit. With a strong focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), your child can start developing skills that lead to exciting, high-tech careers — possibly right out of high school.
Which pathway is offered?
Engineering Technology — If your child enjoys building, exploring, and figuring out how things work, this pathway helps turn that natural curiosity into real-world skills. They’ll learn about design processes, technical drawing, computer-aided design (CAD), materials, and systems thinking. Along the way, they’ll apply science, math, and technology to solve practical, real-world problems.
