Engineering the Future – A K-12 STEM Pathway at Albuquerque Public Schools
Giving Albuquerque students a competitive advantage among their peers, APS has transformed three local schools to offer a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) pathway — Engineering The Future.
Transcript
APS is offering a first-of-its-kind Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) pathway – called Engineering The Future. It’s a free K-12 magnet program where students learn to think like engineers, and use the Design Process to create solutions to real world problems.
Engineering the Future: Prepares students for a future career in any industry; Gives students opportunities for internships with local STEM industries; Encourages creativity and innovation; Develops strong skills in coding, public speaking and teamwork.

A Free K-12 Magnet Program
The first of its kind in Albuquerque. Students learn to think like engineers and use the Design Process to create solutions to real world problems.
- Prepares students for a future career in any industry
- Gives students opportunities for internships with local STEM companies
- Encourages creativity, innovation, resourcefulness and resiliency
- Equips students with strong skills in coding, public speaking and collaborating in teams
About The Engineering the Future Pathway
The Engineering the Future pathway consists of three magnet schools:
Creating the next generation of engineers, programmers, scientists, and STEM professionals.
Supported by a grant through the U.S. Department of Education, the pathway provides students with comprehensive hands-on training in integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics, with access to all the tools necessary in the rapidly changing STEM field.
Through partnerships with the University of New Mexico, the Air Force Research Lab, Sandia National Laboratory and NMSU, students have the opportunity to take engaging field trips, as well as have access to unique and interactive learning opportunities.
Students participate building rockets and robotics competitions, present and pitch audiences to develop public speaking skills, and take part in computer science and coding courses to prepare them for success in internships, higher education and careers.
Project Lead The Way provides transformative learning experiences for PreK-12 students and teachers across the U.S. PLTW offers a pathway to prepare and motivate students to enter careers in science and engineering.
The Design Process and Engineering Habits of Mind
We teach students the design process to make things that work and make things work better. We also help students think like engineers, and develop critical thinking skills that support the learning process.
