In the engineering room, sprockets sit, ready for students to use for projects. During second period, the engineering practicum students are working on a long-term project. "We are trying to find a way to help homeless people in regards to pollution," senior Brittney DeWald said about her project. "We're working on a way to solve pollution and their effects on climate as well as homeless people because they're in urban areas, which produce a lot of pollution, and we're trying to find a way to combine those two problems so that it benefits them financially and physically as well as the rest of the population."

The engineering practicum classes began their year-long projects. The project is to create an invention that will solve problems for a large group. Some inventions they will create include environmentally-safe private aircrafts, cooling systems for electronics in golf carts and something to benefit homeless populations while solving pollution.
