The STEM Pathway includes rigorous coursework, advanced learning technology and opportunities to master the skills of the future. Why STEM?On average, students who study engineering or technology in college are happier with their career options upon graduation than students with other majors. Furthermore, in this computer age, when almost any information can be obtained with a mere click of a button, students that graduate with a solid understanding of technology are more likely to perform well in any career or field of study. Students who pursue the STEM Pathway and work hard will graduate with an impressive record that will make them competitive applicants at a number of colleges and universities. At some APS schools, they will also have the opportunity to become certified in the use of common engineering software, such as computer-aided drafting (CAD) and 3D modeling design software.
