Lincoln Academy Department of Design, Engineering, and Technology
Learn and practice problem-solving, systems thinking, innovation, teamwork, iteration, and communication.
Engineering is designing and creating solutions to address particular human problems with technology that includes all types of systems and processes—everything from a hammer to a computer. Technologies result when engineers apply their understanding of the physical world to creatively solve problems.
Lincoln Academy’s DET program offers a range of credit options:
- One-third (1/3) of a credit in Design, Engineering and Technology (DET) is required for graduation and is most often fulfilled by taking Introduction to DET or Robotics in the Freshman or Sophomore year (Introduction to DET or Robotics may also be taken by Juniors and Seniors).
- Introduction to DET and teacher permission are the prerequisites for Wood, Metal, Mechanical and DET Independent Projects, (which may be repeated only with teacher permission).
- The DET graduation requirement may also be fulfilled by certain other specific classes such as Jewelry and Metalsmithing, Robotics, Digital Photo, Graphic Design or Digital Media Production.
