AET Student Orientation
August 25, 2016
4:30 – 5:30 pm
THS Auditorium
Academy of Engineering & Technology
The mission of the LCPS Academy of Engineering & Technology, AET, is to provide academic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) pathways for students to engage in the study of engineering, entrepreneurship and information technologies.
Students at the AET will develop their creative and enterprising capacities, engage in engineering and research, and have the opportunity to pursue a rich, well-rounded high school experience.
AET 2016-17
The Academy of Engineering & Technology, will open at Tuscarora High School in SY 2016-17
Students entering the AET will follow an integrated STEM (iSTEM) course of study in one of three different curricular pathways, AET Information Technology, AET Engineering, or AET Entrepreneurship, beginning in their 9th grade year
All AET students will continue in one of the 3 cohort pathways during 9th & 10th grade
Students will be offered additional STEM pathways at the Academies of Loudoun as 11th and 12th graders.
AET Pathways
AET Information Technology
designed for students who wish to engage in an intensive study of computer science, and information technologies. All AET Information Technology students will be required to design, develop and conduct multiple research projects while attending the AET.
AET Engineering
designed for students who wish to engage in an intensive study of engineering, including the engineering design process. All AET Engineering students will be required to complete multiple engineering projects while attending the AET.
AET Entrepreneurship
designed for students who are interested in STEM fields and wish to engage in an intensive study of developing, marketing and managing STEM related businesses. All AET Entrepreneurship students will be required to develop multiple, STEM focused business and marketing plans.
