It encompasses business skills and techniques, an understanding of basic economics, and business attitudes essential to participate in the international marketplace. Work-based learning experiences offered by the Auburn Training Connection and local area industries include strategies that will allow students to go beyond the classroom and into the community to gain “hands on” work experience.

The following courses are offered:

Particular emphasis is given to the use of decision-making and problem-solving techniques in applying science, mathematics, communication, and social studies concepts to solve technological problems. In addition, instruction and training are provided in the proper care, maintenance, and use of tools and equipment and all applicable local, state, and federal safety and environmental regulations. Hands-on work experiences and SkillsUSA leadership activities provide many opportunities to enhance classroom instruction and career development.

Pre-Engineering Technology| Program Site| (top)

The Pre-Engineering Program is a four year sequence of courses which, when combined with traditional mathematics and science courses in high school, introduces students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering prior to entering college. However, those not intending to pursue further formal education will benefit greatly from the knowledge and logical thought processes that result from taking some or all of the courses provided in the curriculum. It is hoped that introduction at this level will attract more students to engineering, and will allow students, while still in high school, to determine if engineering is the career they desire. Students participating in PLTW courses are better prepared for college engineering programs and more likely to be successful, thus reducing the attrition rate in these college programs, which currently exceeds 50% nationally.

The following courses are offered:
