ENGINEERING ACADEMY The mission of the Engineering Academy is to improve science, technology, engineering, and math career preparedness in our region. Students learn about the engineering career pathway to prepare them for college. High School Students from Apollo, Daviess County, Owensboro, Owensboro Catholic and Mclean County participate in real-world, hands- on activities.

Engineering Academy Course Flowchart The Engineering Academy's suggested path is the first on the left, but other opportunities are available. The Engineering Academy is also currently looking into reviving the Computer Integrated Manufacturing course which would come after Principles of Engineering in place of Digital Electronics at OCTC.

2 Part Registration: http://apollopltw.weebly.com/pltw- engineering-academy-application-2016.htmlhttp://apollopltw.weebly.com/pltw- engineering-academy-application-2016.html Take ACT Registering for high school class schedule in March Start in August with Introduction to Engineering Design AM Class 7:50 – 9:00 (bus on back-end) PM Class 2:00 – 3:15 (bus on front-end) The rest of the day is at your home high school PROCESS?
22
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE? The classes are college-level and with lots group and independent work that requires a mature student. A math score on the EXPLORE of 17 or better is an indication We ask that our recruits achieve an ACT composite score of at least 17 ACT tests
