BOCES Career and Technical Education PROGRAMs

Engineering & Design

Solve problems, build solutions, and bring ideas to life. In this project-based program, students learn how to think like engineers and create like designers—using advanced tools, software, and technology to explore the future of manufacturing, automation, and product innovation.

Work with robotics, CAD software, 3D printers, and real automation systems as you gain the skills to succeed in engineering, design, and manufacturing fields. Whether you build the parts or create the plan, this is where it starts.

Hands-On Innovation, From Concept to Creation

Bring your ideas off the page and into reality. Using industry-standard design tools like SolidWorks and real automation systems like robotic arms and PLCs, students develop technical skills while tackling real-world design challenges. With every project, you’ll build confidence in problem solving, critical thinking, and collaborative teamwork.
