Robotics, Engineering and Technology
Seycove's technology department competes yearly in the Skills Canada Robotics challenge as well as alternative energy challenges and supermileage races. Students design and build a wide variety of projects such as off-road vehicles, solar powered vehicles, and hovercrafts. A number of students from this engineering program have gone on to schools such as University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, University of Victoria, University of Waterloo, McGill University, British Columbia Institute of Technology, and Capilano University's engineering transfer program. Seycove also offers courses in computer programming, woodwork, construction, and drafting and design.

Famous quotes containing the words engineering and/or technology:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
