Engineering
Women continue to be under-represented in all technical and engineering fields, constituting only 10 percent of all engineering professionals in the United States. Laurel is trying to do our part to change this! By exposing our students to engineering practices before college we can generate student interest in the profession. The Laurel School Engineering Program includes three courses: |
Students in the Principles of Engineering I |
 Two students work on a project during the mechanical dynamics case study |
|
Laurel's nationally-acclaimed Engineering Program is overseen by Licia Kovach, K-12 Science Chairpoerson and herself a design process engineer with more than ten years of professional engineering experience.
At each point in the program, the key phases of engineering design and iterative problem solving are emphasized, as the curriculum is built upon the 11 attributes established by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. |

Licia Kovach instructs students on Solidwerks, the industry-standard CAD software program, in the Principles of Engineering course |
