Northside High School

Design. Build. Test. Improve.

A three-level engineering pathway where students turn ideas into models, prototypes, evidence, and real solutions.

Engineering pathway

Students progress from foundational design and tools to advanced systems, documentation, testing, leadership, and capstone work.

FET • Level 1

Foundations of Engineering and Technology

Build the foundation for engineering through hands-on projects, problem solving, technical communication, tools, CAD, robotics, and real-world applications.

Explore FET
EC • Level 2

Engineering Concepts

Apply engineering design to more complex technical problems using mathematics, science, CAD, prototyping, testing, documentation, and team project management.

EA • Level 3

Engineering Applications

Integrate STEM knowledge in advanced, project-driven challenges that emphasize professional documentation, rigorous testing, optimization, leadership, and capstone work.

Our design process

Every project uses a shared process. Students may move backward, repeat steps, and refine their work as evidence develops.
