New engineering course offered
January 16,2016
SPRINGFIELD — The River Valley Technical Center will add engineering to its technical education program, starting with the 2016-2017 school year.
The technical education program serves high school students in Bellows Falls, Black River, Green Mountain, Fall Mountain and Springfield, as well as home school and private school students.
RVTC will use the Project Lead the Way Engineering curriculum. The program will be a hands-on, project based, application centric approach to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context.
When enrolled in this program, students will also have the opportunity to earn up to 12 college credits through NH Technical Institute.
Enrollment is open but space is limited.
To sign up for this new course for the 2016-2017 school year, go to www.rvtc.org and click “Apply Online.”
Great big LIKE! Engineers are needed in many many industries. Sometimes as a Civil Engineer I think these programs focus too much on mechanical engineering, but solving problems through engineering is so cool. It's a very fulfilling career.
ReplyDeletePerfect, remember it was the mechanical engineers that "paved" the way to precision valley. Unfortunately that highway has become a trail of memories. But this program is great since there are many "paving" opportunities elsewhere. Good luck future engineers. I r 1 2.
ReplyDeletePositive news from the Howard Dean Technical Center. But I'll reserve judgement to see how it plays out a year from now. If executed no better than the NIMS and Tooling U programs, administration will sabotage it too by admitting SPEDS.
