CTE

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a federally supported program that exposes students to a variety of careers and industries, helps them explore and develop interests, and develops foundational technical and employability skills that they can continue to build in high school.

Mrs. Lewis is celebrating her 15th year of teaching at New Bridge with the last 8 in the CTE Department. Her course schedule includes 8th Grade Engineering: Technological Systems, 7th Grade Engineering: Invention and Innovation, and 6th Grade Engineering: Exploring Technology. Each class has a hands-on lab engineering focus while students discover and use technology through application of the Engineering Design Process. A focus to learn knowledge and skills for careers in technology, engineering, and design pathways is woven throughout activities. Labs are module based and students can select from Virtual Architecture, Computer Graphics and Animation, Audio Communication, Digital Manufacturing, Forensic Science, Robotics, Structure Engineering, Home Maintenance Systems, Alternate Energy, Energy and Power, Flight Technology, and Laser Technology.
