The Technology and Engineering curriculum provides a comprehensive study in technology and
engineering with emphasis on skill development and career exploration. Students entering the program
at the freshmen level are encouraged to take advantage of the six exploratory areas of technology in
Introduction to Technology X and Y. Arrowhead will enter its second year offering the nationally
accredited Project Lead the Way Program (pltw.org). Students will have the opportunity to take
Introduction to Engineering and Principles of Engineering courses. This is in addition to a variety of
courses offered in Technology Education that give students the opportunity to receive college credits
(transcripted credit).
Arrowhead Technology also provides the juniors and seniors a chance to become involved with two
nationally accredited programs in the automotive area. Arrowhead has become an accredited school
through the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) as well as the
Automotive Youth Education Systems (AYES). Both associations provide graduates job opportunities,
scholarships, free tools, and advanced placement at WCTC and MATC. Along with these opportunities,
students may also choose from technology enhanced traditional course work in woodworking,
metalworking, manufacturing, power and transportation systems and computer aided drafting and
manufacturing. In addition, seniors will have the opportunity to take the Internship/School to Work
program. The program is for those students serious about their future plans and willing to be released
from school to gain work experience in a professional environment.
