Technology & Engineering
We will prepare students for a world in which technology is
powerful, embedded, and pervasive - Strategic Plan Goals & Objectives
Bishop McNamara provides a comprehensive study in technology and engineering with emphasis on skill development and 21ST-CENTURY career exploration.
Our Technology curriculum is a critical tool to provide our students with a working knowledge of computer concepts as well as expose them to specific skill sets used in the business world. We present our students with the creative aspects of programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cybersecurity, web design, coding & maintenance, and computing impacts. Higher-level courses are available for students to further develop the above areas of technology as well as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing. Technology design programs are available for digital making in areas such as interactive gaming, music, and wearable technology, and the design and fabrication of digital objects and systems.
Our Engineering curriculum provides students with knowledge of various fields of Engineering: Civil, Aerospace, Software, Sound, Environmental, Mechanical, Chemical, Architectural, and Robotics. Through project-based design challenges, students are engaged in the engineering design process, gain hands-on, real-world experience, learn to effectively collaborate with others, and develop innovative solutions and problem-solving. Students learn key STEM principles as they grow in confidence, problem-solving, and technological literacy.
Our Technology & Engineering department has partnered with such companies and organizations as ENGINEERING TOMORROW, NASA, and Northrop Grumman to support our students' exploration, provide mentorship, facilitate field trips, and provide supplies for projects and systems.
