“Vectren is proud to partner with the Dayton Regional STEM School to provide our region’s students with the building blocks to an engineering career and opportunities for career exploration in high-demand STEM fields,” Colleen Ryan, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio, said in the same release. “A solid educational foundation is key to ensuring our students have access to and can succeed in local high-demand jobs.”
Two of the program’s courses, Principles of Engineering and Introduction to Engineering Design, are already offered. Two courses, Digital Electronics and Environmental Sustainability, are new this year.
