Engineering Class Offered to Freshmen and Sophomores in 2017-18

A new course option has just been made available to rising freshmen and sophomores (currently 8th graders and 9th graders).  Introduction to Engineering will be offered on-line to students who are interested in Engineering or Drafting as a career option for the future.  This class will be offered during the school day in a supervised lab and will require students to log in to take this class from a teacher teaching it remotely.

Because of the nature of engineering, it is recommended that a student be a solid math student (at least a B in accelerated math or an A in on-level math).  Also, because of the nature of on-line courses, students who work well without a lot of adult intervention/encouragement to complete tasks are best suited for success.  The most important ingredient in your student's success in this class is a deep interest in learning more about engineering.

On Wednesday, March 29th at 2:30 pm, we will host a meeting for students who are interested in this opportunity.  No commitment is required by coming to this meeting, so if you even think you might be interested, complete the registration form linked below and make plans on attending!
