Engineering & Energy

Our Engineering & Energy program sits at the intersection of traditional engineering excellence and the rapidly evolving green energy sector. Students focus on the core principles of mechanical and electrical engineering while mastering the sustainable technologies that will define our global energy landscape.

Students transition from theoretical physics to practical application by engaging with the tools and professional networks driving the energy revolution.

SkillsUSA: Students are encouraged to join this premier CTSO to compete in technical events such as Renewable Energy Pathways, Principles of Engineering, and Applied Engineering.

State Leadership & Skills Conferences: These multi-day events allow students to showcase their engineering portfolios, attend workshops with energy sector professionals, and connect with Nevada’s leading utility providers and engineering firms.

 

As explained on the SkillsUSA website:

Representing more than 2,000 Career and Technical Education students and teachers, our mission is accomplished through the SkillsUSA Framework of Personal Skills, Workplace Skills and Technical Skills Grounded in Academics, which is integrated into classroom curriculum. SkillsUSA students hone their hands-on skills against current industry standards in more than 100 occupational areas, from 3D Animation to Welding and nearly everything in between. At the same time, they develop the transformative career-readiness skills — teamwork, communication, professionalism, leadership and more — that fuel career and life success. SkillsUSA has served over 15 million diverse, difference-making members since 1965.
