The development of these academieshas brought K-12 educators, career tech educators, and university educators together to design apathway that uses the strengths of each partner to better prepare students for entry into, andsuccessful completion of, university engineering programs. The initial motivation for theseacademies was acknowledgement that the attrition level of students pursuing engineering degreesis far too high. That attrition rate is greater than 50% nationally.
