Jake received a certificate
for Student of the Quarter at New Visions Engineering. He received an award for best
prepared student. His teacher said "he is quite prepared academically (very little is new to him)
but he's also very well prepared on Site Visits and in class with
materials."
This program is an academically rigorous
one-year program for college-bound high school seniors who plan to major in an
engineering discipline. Admission to
the New Visions Program is competitive and highly selective. Students
from 31 school districts compete for a limited number of Engineering positions.
Successful applicants must demonstrate above-average ability in math and
science, have a strong work ethic, and show genuine interest in the field of
engineering.
New Visions Engineering students receive instruction in AP Calculus, AP
Physics, and various engineering principles. Students explore the world of
engineering through hands-on projects that integrate academics and engineering
concepts. Job shadowing opportunities and site visits are coordinated
throughout the school year enabling the students to see first-hand the
activities and responsibilities related to various engineering disciplines.
Congratulations to Jake on doing so well in
such a competitive program!
