school that has educated students since 1988 in aresidential setting. In 2013, Accelerate, South Carolina’s Engineering Launchpad, began in apilot phase, offering blended online coursework with instruction delivered using live video-conferencing technology to exceptional students from across the state. Conceived as a means todraw future engineering talent from across the state, Accelerate was created to attract andprepare the next generation of creative, articulate, and agile engineers. An integrated set ofcollege and honors courses that delivers superior science, engineering, and mathematicsinstruction along with valuable communication skills through dedicated English coursesdistinguishes Accelerate from other engineering courses offered in
