HSTW Presents an Engineering Program of Study

Description: The world of technology requires strong mathematics and science skills, plus the abilities to read and write well, to think and reason, and to explain complex concepts. Sadly, too many students lack the rigorous academic background or the reasoning and problem-solving skills to pursue further study or to work in engineering and engineering-related fields. As a result, technical industries suffer, even though the job opportunities, salaries and benefits in these fields are very desirable. The Southern Regional Education Board's High Schools That Work has formed a partnership with Project Lead The Way^® - a not-for profit organization that works with schools, the private sector and higher education - to connect challenging academic courses with an engineering program of study. Project Lead The Way^® is a new type of career/technical program that has the potential to do for career/technical studies what Advanced Placement courses have done for academic studies. 

Keywords: engineering, engineering technology, a new career/technical program, 3-D computer software, robotics, Rochester Institute of Technology, Gateway To Technology.
