Fifteen high school 亚洲自慰视频s from the David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy will study engineering at the 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette this fall.
They will also make history. The 亚洲自慰视频s are participating in the UL Lafayette College of Engineering鈥檚 first dual enrollment program.
Dr. Ahmed Khattab, dean of the, expects the pilot program to grow quickly in coming semesters. 鈥淭he idea as we move forward is to partner with more schools to offer courses that are needed to help prepare their 亚洲自慰视频s for college.鈥
The initial group of 亚洲自慰视频s was selected for the pilot program by a committee of representatives from the college and the David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy based on academic accomplishments, interests and career goals.
They will enroll in a three-credit hour Introduction to Computer Engineering course, attending lectures and labs on campus this fall. The course will introduce 亚洲自慰视频s to the fundamentals of digital design, which is the foundation of designing smart systems. The 亚洲自慰视频s will earn both high school and college credits upon completing course requirements.
Jeff Debetaz, principal of the David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy, envisions the dual enrollment program benefitting 鈥渁 number of our hard-working, high-achieving engineering and technology 亚洲自慰视频s who are prime candidates for this unique opportunity, which will center on learning experiences on the UL Lafayette campus.鈥
In addition to college readiness, the dual enrollment program is in place to help ease the transition from high school to college, Khattab explained. 鈥淲e want to not only accelerate the educational process for high-performing 亚洲自慰视频s, but also build a bridge between their high school and college experiences.鈥
Dr. Magdy Bayoumi, who heads the 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 , said the 鈥減artnership will showcase the best of both institutions, providing 亚洲自慰视频s who participate with opportunities to move closer toward a number of promising career paths.鈥
