My engineering kid is loving Wheaton, but program is very engineering focused., so kid would have to want to or at least be willing to try a program that has 1-2 engineering classes every year. Good applied club opportunities too.


Is there a robotics club at Wheaton

Yes

They do projects in CAP too! National History Day and C-SPAN project. Plus all the interdisciplinary ones.

It's a standard STEM curriculum but the engineering class is where you apply a lot of the theory by building things.


How is the R&E class graded? Team projects? Long term assignments?? Any tests?
