Engineering

Engineering and robotics are essential in today’s manufacturing industry. A problem-solving mindset is foundational to the engineering field. You will learn how to step into the role of an engineer to develop solutions to problems by engaging in real-world problems. Students will explore engineering topics such as mechanisms, strength of structures and materials, and automation/robotics.

Engineering Design and Development is the capstone course for the pathway. Students can receive dual credit from UW-Green Bay. Juniors and seniors who have previously taken Intro to Engineering are eligible for the capstone course. The capstone course is hosted at Preble High School, but students from all Green Bay Area Public School District high schools may attend.

Students in the engineering capstone courses work collaboratively together, similar to college-level courses. Engineers from the local community are also brought into the classroom as project advisors.
