Technology and Engineering
MMSD Career pathways are a series of connected education, experiential learning, and support strategies aimed at helping students personalize and achieve their own educational and career goals.
The Technology and engineering program of study offers a sequence of courses specifically designed to prepare students for employment and postsecondary options in engineering, technology, science, mathematics, distribution, logistics planning, infrastructure planning, and other related industries.
The earlier a student begins this sequence, the more opportunities students will have to explore fully the educational and community options available. Course fees may vary at the high schools.
