The Technology and Engineering Education curriculum at EHMIS is based on the Pennsylvania Standards for Science, Technology and Engineering Education, and ITEEA's Standards for Technological Literacy. The program courses offer students the opportunity to explore several areas of technology and engineering, including many systems, tools, materials, and processes. The technological design process is employed throughout the program, encouraging research and development of student designed prototypes, problem solving, critical thinking, invention and innovation.
Expectations are high as activities are designed to challenge and meet the needs of all students. Partnerships with local business and industry helps to provide support for the extensive project-based learning – learning by doing.
