Eagle Engineering Center (EEC)

Summer 2025 will bring a 60% expansion to the Eagle Engineering Center!

We’re thrilled to announce the Eagle Engineering Center will be expanding by more than 60% in the summer of 2025, creating a state-of-the-art Engineering Maker Hub inspired by the Engineering Maker Hub at George Fox University. Upon completion, the space will span 3,500 square feet, providing students with cutting-edge resources for project-based learning. [Click here to view project renderings.]

How Can You Be Part of the Celebration?

We’re excited to share that we've already secured 70% of the funds needed—but we still need your support to reach our goal! Once we hit 100%, the entire student body will be treated to donuts.

What classes are available to students?

The EEC will offer four dynamic courses in our engineering department: 

• Intro to Engineering
• Principles of Engineering
• Computer Integrated Manufacturing
• Engineering Capstone. 

These courses not only provide a strong foundation in engineering principles but also nurture students' creativity and problem-solving skills, preparing them for a successful future in the ever-evolving field of engineering.

It’s Happening: Eagle Engineering Center Under Construction!

The EEC offers the opportunity for students to become immersed in a transformative engineering curriculum that goes beyond textbook learning. Through engaging hands-on projects like designing innovative toys and enhancing existing products, students delve into the engineering design process while incorporating math, science, and industry standards. 

Engineering teaches students how to think, design, create, and persevere. Those are qualities our world desperately needs, especially in Christ-centered leaders. It’s not just about building projects; it’s about building character. At Westside, we want our students to be able to step confidently into today’s most complex challenges and offer solutions that reflect truth, compassion, and integrity. From exploring mechanisms to tackling challenges like developing self-powered vehicles, our students engage with a wide array of engineering topics to hone their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 

By integrating Computer Aided Design (CAD) with Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, students further enhance their technical proficiency. This comprehensive engineering course not only fosters academic excellence but also aligns with our school's values of character development and making a positive impact on the world.
