The Engineering Institute is designed for high school students who are interested in exploring a career in one of the various fields of engineering and is part of our K-12 STEAM initiative. The program seeks to give students a solid foundation in engineering design and strategies for solving real world problems. The Engineering Program is aligned with Linfield’s mission to train up professionals to serve the Lord and the world through their leadership and character. Our program centers around applying engineering, science, math, and technology to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context. Students focus on the process of defining and solving a problem, not on getting the "right" answer. They learn how to apply STEAM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to make the world a better place through innovation. Meets UC "D" science requirement.
