• Engineering Pathways at SETA

    As a magnet school program, SETA is able to offer a variety of academic pathways available to students. Our comprehensive curriculum, developed in collaboration with NASA and our advisory board, ensures that students receive a well-rounded education in their selected engineering pathway. 

    Our extensive curriculum offers four distinct pathways and each provides students with diverse career opportunities within the engineering industry. Our pathways include:
  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Aviation Technology
  • Computer Science Engineering
  • Manufacturing & Mechanical Engineering

  • Each pathway is designed to provide students with specialized skills and knowledge in their respective fields. By offering a variety of pathways into the engineering industry, we aim to cater to the specialized interests and talents of our students, allowing them to graduate from SETA with industry-recognized certifications.

    Depending on the chosen pathway, SETA students have the flexibility to make immediate transitions into the workforce after graduation. Some pathways, such as those including aircraft certifications, may be better suited for those who wish to pursue continued education at post-secondary institutions. However, regardless of the pathway selected, all SETA students will graduate with numerous opportunities within the engineering workforce.

    SETA is committed to preparing students for the engineering jobs of the future. By leveraging our connections with industry partners, SETA is actively developing internship and job opportunities for future students of the magnet school program. Through these connections, students will establish valuable networks while advancing their real-world experience, knowledge, and skills for their future careers.
