It was a pleasure hosting Mill Creek Schools / Cascade College and Career Readiness PLTW Engineering students at Banning Engineering for an immersive, real-world engineering experience. From site development and design to presenting projects before a mock commission board, students got a firsthand look at how collaboration and problem-solving bring projects to life. We loved sharing what we do and seeing the next generation of engineers in action!
Thank you so much to Jeff, Jon, DeeDee, and the whole crew Engineering for their gracious hospitality!
Our PLTW Engineering students recently had the opportunity to step into the world of professional civil engineering with an immersive experience at Banning Engineering. Students worked through a simulated real-world site development project from start to finish, learning how engineering concepts move from an idea to a fully developed plan. Throughout the experience, multiple departments from Banning Engineering shared how their teams contribute to the development process, giving students firsthand insight into careers in civil engineering, design, planning, and project management. The experience concluded with students presenting their final designs to the Banning Commission Board, where they defended their decisions, explained their process, and responded to professional feedback just like real engineers. This partnership provided students with authentic, hands-on learning that connected classroom skills to real industry expectations while helping them build confidence in communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
