LHS Green Engineering Academy · Est. 2010
Engineering education built for where the job market is headed.
STEM careers are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce, and the shift toward renewable energy, sustainable design, and advanced manufacturing isn't slowing down. GEA gives Livermore High students a four-year head start: real engineering software, a dedicated cohort, and a curriculum built around the industries that will define the next decade.
Why a partnership academy, not just a class
Cohort Model
The same students and teachers stay together across all four years, so support and mentorship compound instead of resetting every fall.
Industry Tools
Students design in CAD, model structures, and prototype with the same engineering software used in professional firms — not simplified classroom versions.
Real Partners
Field trips, guest engineers, and mentorships connect coursework to actual sustainability and manufacturing work happening right now.
College-Ready Rigor
Every GEA course is UC/CSU approved, layering AP options and PLTW engineering credit onto a standard college-prep transcript.
A four-year pathway, one cohort
Every GEA student takes their core courses alongside the same classmates, layering engineering coursework onto a full college-prep schedule.
Year 1 — Freshman
Intro to Engineering Design
Foundations in drafting, design thinking, and the engineering process.
Year 2 — Sophomore
Principles of Engineering
Mechanisms, energy, and materials — the physics behind the machines.
Year 3 — Junior
Civil Engineering & Architecture
Structural design and sustainable building, honors-weighted.
Year 4 — Senior
Engineering Capstone
An independent, portfolio-defining project from concept to presentation.
