Engineering Technical |
This program is designed as a college preparatory program for juniors interested in a career in the field of engineering. Because engineering encompasses a broad scope of career opportunities, students enrolled in the program complete five engineering courses in two school years. The courses selected to be taught are defined by the National Alliance for Pre Engineering Programs. Students apply Math and Science concepts while solving engineering challenges in a high tech lab. The 15:1 student/teacher ratio maximizes teaching, learning and time management, thus raising performance expectations for all. Students are required to complete four years of rigorous Math and Science at their home school in addition to the five Pre Engineering courses taught at MNTC.

Career Information
Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers design products, machinery to build those products, factories in which those products are made, and the systems that ensure the quality of the products and efficiency of the workforce and manufacturing process. Engineers design, plan, and supervise the construction of buildings, highways, and transit systems. They develop and implement improved ways to extract, process, and use raw materials, such as petroleum and natural gas. They develop new materials that both improve the performance of products and take advantage of advances in technology. Engineering knowledge is applied to improving many things, including the quality of health care, the safety of food products, and the efficient operation of financial systems.
CAREER & EDUCATION PATHS: Graduates of this program may continue to train in college for civil, electrical, software and electronics engineering; industrial/mechanical engineering; nuclear engineering, petroleum engineering, aerospace or biomedical engineering; architecture; education; certified consulting, mapping GIS/LIS, or to be a laboratory technician.
