North West Technical Just when I begin to lose some faith with our local education system, I always receive some information that brightens my day. The Clark County School District is addressing the fact that there is a severe shortage of engineers. They are creating the Academy of Engineers, which will be co-located with the new Northwest Career & Technical Academy.

My friend David Philippi is the director of the new academy. He is planning a luncheon for local engineering companies to learn more about the program. Dr. Irving McPhail, Executive V.P. and C.O.O. for N.A.C.M.E., will be the guest speaker for luncheon on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 in the banquet facility of Northwest Career & Technical Academy at 10250 Centennial Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89149. If you would like to attend, please call David at 799-4640 ext. 4305 by Friday, November 23rd.

The National Academy Foundation (N.A.F.) has recognized the Northwest Career and Technical Academy as one of 13 Academy of Engineering pilot sites located throughout the United States.
