The MESA program at Kearny SCT is a partnership with the College of Engineering at San Diego State University. The SDSU College of Engineering's MESA Schools Program works with local middle and high schools to provide and promote after-school pre-engineering activities and class period electives.
The program's goal is to encourage students to pursue educational careers in engineering, math, and science through fun, hands-on projects and other college awareness activities that promote science, technology, engineering and math college and career options. Many companies work with by providing equipment, technical resources, internships and volunteers. For more information, contact Phil Etson at petson@sandi.net.
