[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid there who is loving it. Great program,  great opportunities,  great teachers/counselors/principal.  Engineering classes are ver hands on. They'll take intro to Engineering design,  principles of engineering,  digital electronics,  civil or aerospace or computer, then a senior capstone with a project. There are various engineering clubs, robotics, science, etc. Plus art, theatre,  chorus. (Great chorus and theatre teachers). Band/orch is not particularly strong. Gorgeous building. Welcome!

Thank you for this clarification. I have heard that the programs like engineering at Wheaton are tech programs for kids who aren't going to college but rather into fields like mechanics, AC repair, and so on. Do the engineering kids take AP classes?[/quote]

No the engineering magnet at Wheaton is for kids who want to be aerospace engineers or architects.[/quote]

Maybe it is now, but my daughter is in college for aero/astro engineering and was specifically told Blair Magnet was a better option to get into top engineering programs for BA/MA engineers and the Wheaton program was great for polytechnic engineering schools.  Not A/C repair etc... but engineering technology and design and graphing.  This is not a knock, because some of these degrees are amazing[/quote]
