Engineering Technology
This rigorous program is designed for high-achieving, technically oriented students who plan to matriculate to a competitive technical college or university upon graduation from high school. The Engineering program is affiliated and certified through Project Lead the Way (PLTW.org) a national engineering program that encourages qualified high school students to continue their college studies in the field of engineering. Based on United States Labor Department studies, engineering fields will have a huge deficit of technicians and engineers by the year 2018 due to the expanding technological work force base. PLTW was created to address this need in promoting engineering to high school students. The Blue Hills Engineering program meets and exceeds the Massachusetts Science, Math, Engineering and Technology (STEM) initiative, and the Vocational Technical Educational (VTE) Frameworks.
