The Academy of Engineering & Technology (AET) program strives to provide academic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) pathways for students to engage in the study of engineering, information technology, and entrepreneurship.  Students in the AET program will develop their creative and enterprising capacities, engage in engineering and research projects, and have the opportunity to pursue a well-rounded high school experience.  A student in the AET program acquires the skills to ask sophisticated scientific questions and conduct research and experimentation; to explore the connections between STEM and the real world through innovation challenges; to read, write, and communicate at a level that is required of university students; and to develop perspectives to assess the impact of scientific advancements on society.
