At the end of your program, you’ll have the opportunity to decide which discipline is right for you and your career!

  • The support. We value our Cadets and want you to have the support you need to complete your studies. Along with buddies and mentors, you get six hours a week for study/class time, so you aren’t fitting it around full time work hours.
  • The people. We really do have some talented senior designers and engineers in our team. You’ll be paired and supported by mentors and buddies that can help you through technical and other problems every step of the way.
