In a bid to bridge the gap between education and real-world engineering skills, the Vincent Mary School of Engineering has introduced a specialized engineering class for M.4 to M.6 students at Saint Joseph Thiphawan School. This innovative program combines lectures and hands-on workshops, offering students a deeper understanding of engineering principles and practices.
By participating in this course, students gain academic credit while acquiring valuable experience in the engineering field, enabling them to make informed decisions about their future educational paths. This initiative provides an opportunity to explore diverse engineering disciplines, inspiring the next generation to pursue careers in science, technology, and innovation.
The program contributes directly to several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
- SDG 4: Quality Education – By offering access to high-quality engineering education, the program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for their future careers.
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – The curriculum includes a focus on energy-efficient technologies, aligning with the school’s EV (Electric Vehicle) program, and providing students with insight into sustainable energy solutions for the future.
- SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – The program fosters inclusivity, ensuring all students, regardless of background, have the opportunity to explore engineering and its potential to drive societal change.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – The workshops emphasize the role of engineers in shaping sustainable urban environments, from green building practices to eco-friendly infrastructure, especially relevant to the school’s proximity to industrial areas.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Students are introduced to engineering solutions designed to mitigate climate change, such as renewable energy technologies and environmentally sustainable practices.
Through this collaboration, Vincent Mary School of Engineering and Saint Joseph Thiphawan School are not only transforming education but also empowering students to make a lasting positive impact on society and the environment
