Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)

There are two YA pathway programs to choose. Both pathway programs require taking the Core Skills and Safety Units concurrently with the Basic Required Pathway Unit for all Level One STEM YA students. The second year allows the STEM Engineering YA student to specialize in mechanical or civil engineering.
