Another Step Towards STEM

[BJC]

Hey all, I've got a story for you:

Today, I had my first day of school. This year our school introduced CAD as a new class and of course I jumped on it. The class, however, seriously suprised me as the teacher introduced what it was all about. Basically, this is the deal. Apparently, our school was chosen out of all the schools in the United States to be a pilot for this new program which is a response to the low level of engineers graduating out of the USA. We recived a large government grant to aquire and use Catia v6 (a version which is not even avalible to the public.) This class will include guest teachers and speakers from companies such as Ford, will involve us collaborativly working on projects with the University of Georiga via internet, and will be monitored by the government.

Here is the important part, if declared successful similar classes will be introduced into schools around the country within the next several years.

How's that for cool!
