__**Introduction**__ You will likely live another 65 years or until the year 2078. We live in the technology and information age. During your parents lifetime, personal computers, Walkman, CDs, DVDs, cable TV, digital graphics, desktop publishing, the internet and the web were created. During your life so far, iPad, iPhone, XBox, PlayStation, Google, Android, Skype, Pandora, iTunes, Halo, World of Warcraft, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, NetFlix, DVRs, Video on demand, and RedBox have been created. What is going to be created by the time you are 25? 35? We are on the cutting edge of technological change. How much of the technology are **YOU** going to create?

The future starts NOW and it is your job to create it.

__**What is Engineering?**__ An engineer is given a problem and a budget and asked to design a solution that involves math and science. In the ancient world, they designed the Egyptian pyramids, the Roman coliseum, and the Roman aqueduct. Today the may design jet fighters, missions to mars, iPads, or YouTube. Some engineers build roads and bridges, while others build roller coasters. Some build yachts and others submarines. Some build industrial robots and others build computer components. For Ace Academy, students are offered the fundamental skills of Calculus, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Auto Tech, and Computer Science.

__**Ace Expectations**__ All Majors in the ACE academy should have at least one AP class. Students should take all of these classes prior to graduation to complete the major. We believe that all ACE students will attend college and earn at least an Associate Degree (2 years) and most will earn a Bachelor's Degree (4 years). Many will continue to earn a Master, Professional, or Doctorate Degree. You must start taking as many AP classes as you can manage to prove to yourself and to colleges that you will succeed when you get to college.
