Welcome to the Stellar Academy of Engineering

Build Your Career Here
The Stellar Academy of  Engineering provides students with a foundation of skills, knowledge and experience in drafting and design technology, which can be applied to a variety of careers. Students begin with the basics: interpreting scales, lettering techniques, sketching, geometric construction, and multi-view drawings. Then they are introduced to AutoCAD, the computer-aided drafting and design program used in such high-skill, high-wage, high-demand fields as engineering; construction; manufacturing; architectural, landscape and interior design; multimedia development. The lessons are hands-on, project-oriented and emphasize critical thinking as well as teamwork. Upon completion of the four-year program, students will have the skills and state-recognized certification to directly enter the workforce at a competitive salary and/or enroll in a post-secondary engineering program with a substantial amount of college credit.

The Stellar Academy of  Engineering was formed in partnership with Stellar, a fully integrated firm focused on design, engineering, construction, and mechanical services worldwide, headquartered in Jacksonville. Stellar recognizes the need to increase the quality, diversity and number of students prepared to pursue a career in engineering. Students benefit from this unique relationship through the real-world projects and perspective these engineers bring to the classroom. Stellar and other business partners provide valuable work-based learning opportunities such as internships and job shadowing.
