Riley, Woodbine Senior, chose the Engineering and Design program as a way to prepare for her future career as an interior designer.
Riley has explored several different pieces of CAD software through the program, and has looked ahead to her college coursework to ensure she is prepared when she graduates high school.
“Next year I am going to school to be an interior designer, and because of that, we plan to visit at least one interior design firm for one of our site visits in my CAD class. I also have a personalized course that was specifically tailored for my future interior design coursework.”
