The Engineering program focuses on pre-engineering, robotics, and automated manufacturing for high school students. The purpose of the program is to provide pupils with expanded knowledge of the use of critical thinking, analysis, problem solving, and technological skills and to enable them to apply knowledge in a technological context. Hands-on experiences related to the application of engineering concepts in the workplace are central to all portions of this course. Students will develop academic, 21st century, and human relations skills and competencies that accompany technical skills for job success to help foster lifelong learning. Students who complete the program will be better prepared to enter and succeed in the engineering and STEM-related workforce or programs offered by Mississippi community and junior colleges, as well as institutions of higher education.
