Students engage with all academic content through Student Projects focused on topics from the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE) industries. A Project Based Learning academic model is used to provide active, hands-on, and relevant educational experiences. Student projects are created from actual leading commercial construction projects in New Mexico. Teachers take challenging problems from these commercial projects and design Student Projects using industry experts to help them ensure that what they are teaching is relevant to the ACE professions and cutting edge. Students must demonstrate mastery of skills and content, as well as project completion publicly in the form of Exhibitions, where students present and discuss their projects with industry experts, community members, and teachers at least once per trimester. These projects create experiences allowing students to work on real life projects, develop and practice skills under the mentorship of professionals, and contribute to our community in very tangible and meaningful ways.
