Transportation, Engineering, and Design (TREND) Academy

TREND - Transportation, Engineering, and Design-

Engineers find solutions to pressing problems and turn their ideas into reality. The TREND Academy provides students with the opportunity to step into the role of an engineer and or Industrial Designer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, engage in the engineering design process, and climatically make the leap from visionaries to doers. Our pathway courses engage students in compelling, real-world challenges that empower them to grow and develop their Creativity and Communication skills ultimately becoming better Collaborators and Critical-Thinkers. The knowledge and skill-sets students gain through our programming will help them excel now in high school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path that they may choose.

Our shared vision is based on the following core values:

• To integrate a technical & academic education that leads to careers in transportation, engineering, and industrial design.
• To create a learning environment that fosters respect for self and others while promoting honesty and integrity.
• To provide programs with high expectations that develop the skills and talents of each individual as well as the skills required to work successfully as team members and leaders.
