For College Bond Students
Upon successful completion of this program, students may be granted AP (advanced placement) towards a two or four year degree at Delta College, Ferris State University, Baker College, St. Clair Community College, and Lake Superior State University.
The Engineering & Design classroom is open to 11th and 12th grade students who are interested in working with their hands and minds. This project-based program allows students to carry their ideas from inception to completion using the design process to teach and reinforce problem-solving and higher-level learning.
This classroom uses a blend of classroom work, along with a heavy concentration of hands-on work, providing students with a useful learning experience to prepare them for college or the work force. The 7500 sq. ft. Engineering & Design facility is fully set up for a classroom with access to the Internet and 3D solid Edge CAD (computer aided drafting).
The fabrication shop houses are fully equipped with state-of-the-art machine tools and steel/aluminum welding capabilities. Students will also get a chance to use vehicle test equipment and run on our vehicle proving grounds.
