The Institute for Engineering
Lyman High School is unique in that it houses a
magnet program called the Institute for Engineering.
The Institute for Engineering is a pre-engineering
magnet program with emphasis on mathematics and
science. It is an academic and technology related
program designed to prepare students for advanced
educational and job related experiences in fields
related to engineering. Students involved in this
program explore all areas in the curriculum, use the
most current technology, and are academically
challenged to achieve at their highest potential. It
is recommended that students wishing to enter the
Institute have strong backgrounds in math, science,
and the use of technology. In the ninth grade
students take physics along with either algebra I or
geometry and their teachers work collaboratively on
lessons to enhance learning in each class.
Within the Institute for Engineering there are four
areas of specialization: aerospace engineering,
electrical engineering, computer modeling &
simulation, and architectural engineering & design.
During the freshman year, students in the Institute
are required to choose a specialization to pursue
for the rest of their high school career.
