PRE-ENGINEERING ACADEMY From Hands-On Projects to Problem-Solving Skills A College Preparatory Full-Time Program This is not your traditional classroom. It’s a place to explore, question and understand. It’s an environment where you can ask questions and conceive possible answers. It’s where you can train on the engineering design software to invent a new product, use the latest technology to calibrate a high-tech material sorter and build a rocket that can fly. It’s a place where discovery happens every day and where your imagination can take off.
