If you love solving puzzles, building things, or figuring out how systems work, the Engineering Academy gives you the tools and freedom to explore. This program invites students to think like an engineer: asking questions, testing ideas, and creating solutions. From day one, you’ll work hands-on with cutting-edge technology like robots, drones, CNC machines, and 3D printers. Whether you're drawn to designing new tech or improving how things are built, this program offers the flexibility to find your path. Students can also earn college credit through College Credit Plus (CCP) and Clark State.

As you grow in the program, you’ll learn how to take a problem and break it down using the engineering design process, including prototyping, modeling in 2D and 3D software, and applying risk management tools. Senior year offers two distinct paths: Smart Technology Engineering, where students design and program new technologies, or Manufacturing Engineering, which focuses on troubleshooting, maintenance, and process improvement. Whether you’re interested in robotics, mechanical systems, or modern manufacturing, this program prepares you for the next step—college, apprenticeships, or a high-tech career.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Engineering Academy will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program. Several of our graduates go on to become electronics technicians, engineers, computer programmers, or manufacturing technicians.

Ohio Hi-Point has a partnership with Clark State to provide students with multiple CCP opportunities, including direct pathways to earn an associates degree through the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Certificate and the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Certificate programs.
