•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.

Pass an AP Exam

Pass an AICE Exam

Pass an Industry Certification Exam

Pass a Dual Enrollment Course

What is your student’s plan for an acceleration point?
