The Engineering Career Focused Learning Community (CFLC) program is designed for highly motivated students interested in post secondary studies in the field of engineering. Through the program’s directed course of study students will be introduced to the concepts of mathematics, science, and technology that are the foundations of an engineering curriculum. The Engineering CFLC exposes students to the different disciplines of engineering through a combination of courses, extracurricular experiences, guest speakers, and internship opportunities.
The Cornerstone of the Engineering CFLC is the sequence of courses developed by Project Lead the Way. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is a national program with partners in public schools, colleges and universities and the private sector. The project has developed a four year sequence of courses that when combined with college preparatory mathematics and science, introduces students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering and engineering technology. Students participating in PLTW courses are better prepared for college engineering programs.
