City of Los Angeles High School Engineering Competitions

Overview

The Bureau of Engineering has a strong desire to positively shape the future of the City of Los Angeles. In this respect it is important to expose our students to the technical and administration fields that drive the City forward.

The City of Los Angeles High School Engineering Competitions give students an opportunity to apply technical theories to hands-on projects, and the concept of team work.

The Bureau of Engineering along with enthusiastic LAUSD administrators and teachers collaborate to unfold the annual series which has been set for two competitions for 2006-2007.

Volunteer City employees serve as mentors to high school classes. Groups meet during class, after school, or on weekends to design and test the model projects.

Each project culminates at an intramural competition. All participating schools converge at the host school's campus to compete, against each other for prizes and recognition. Some competitors have chance to compete at international level.
