Engineering Program

The Engineering Program is an experiential, activity-based curriculum to expose secondary-school students to high-demand, high-growth careers. It consists of a Student Workbook and a Teacher’s Guide.

The Student Workbook provides relevant, hands-on experiences to connect the sciences and math with real-world problems requiring meaningful solutions. As a result of receiving the Engineering Program, students will:

• Understand the laws and principles of physics and engineering
• Have greater interest in vocational training and further education in math, physics, and chemistry
• Strengthen communication and interpersonal skills by solving relevant, team-driven problems
• Have increased access to job shadow and internships to build relevant experiences
• Be able to raise community interest in and support for STEM education and careers

The Teacher’s Guide equips educators with strategies and resources to design instruction in a way that engages and excites the students while exposing them to career opportunities in the physical sciences. The Teacher’s Guide includes the following:

• Teacher-led, hands-on activities about engineering principles, laws, and occupations
• Experiential projects to help students develop problem-solving skills
• Opportunities to collaborate with outside volunteers and private-sector professionals
