Engineering Pathway

The Engineering Pathway offers an innovative science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curriculum for its students. Students learn and apply the design process, develop collaboration and communication skills, and hone their critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities. Students who graduate from the Engineering Pathway are prepared to enter college to continue studying engineering and related fields, as well as pursue careers in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. Many students in the Engineering Pathway participate and compete on St. John Bosco High School’s award-winning Robotics Team.

Computer Specifications

The curriculum of Introduction to Engineering Design (9th grade course) will require students to create, design, discover, collaborate and solve problems. Students will participate in activities, projects, and problem-based learning.

One of the powerful tools used in Introduction to Engineering Design is an application for 3D design called Autodesk Inventor. The software will be made available to you once the school year starts. In order to use Autodesk Inventor you will need a personal laptop that meets the required computer specifications of this program. As long as your laptop meets these requirements (PC only), regardless of brand or price point, all should be fine. The requirements can be found below.
