High school students

considering STEM

Engineering has a highly structured curriculum for developing mastery

Pre-engineering pathway helps the curious and the less-well-prepared

Pre-engineering pathway helps the curious and the less-well-prepared

A broad overview for the curious

A gentle introduction for the unprepared

A path to the next step: freshman engineering

Pre-engineering pathway helps the curious and the less-well-prepared

Hybrid courses with week night and weekend laboratories to maximize !exibility

Active learning: fabricate and test prototypes

Reframing courses to make new paths

Technology projects motivate the study of math and science: lead with the fun!

ROOC for Oregonians and beyond

ROOC: Regional Open Online Coursewith !exible weekend labs at PSU

A pathway at the junior year will increase admission opportunities to the upper division

A pathway at the junior year will increase admission opportunities to the upper division

Competency-based assessment for some lower division course work

Self-paced study supported by conventional and hybrid lecture format

Freshman and junior level pathways will broaden access and introduce engineering

Technology: not just for engineers
