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)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
