Our four-year, 40-credit engineering program offers students the opportunity to explore the two areas below from both theoretical and applied perspectives.
- Mechanical and Civil Engineering
- Electronics Engineering and Computer Science
Also included are applications of computer-aided design and automated data collection techniques that are driving the nature of professional practice. The engineering program culminates with the Senior Engineering Capstone project where student teams apply what they have learned at the Edison Academy by designing and building a project of their own choosing that demonstrates their mastery of engineering design and project management.
Students enrolled at the Edison Academy begin their engineering journey with the Exploratory Program. The Exploratory Program gives freshmen the opportunity to explore the available options and choose the best match for their academic career at the Edison Academy. During their first semester, 9th-graders are introduced to each of the two engineering career majors, Mechanical and Civil Engineering (MCE) and Electronics Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), for a full marking period. Upon completion of the Exploratory Program, students matriculate in one of these two career majors, as determined by their performance and preference, for the remaining three and a half years.
