CPARC Engineering Center

A Future In STEM Starts Here

Marmion’s Computational Prototyping and Research Center (CPARC) is where big ideas meet real-world engineering. It’s a one-of-a-kind program that brings students, businesses, and educators together to design, prototype, and solve real problems.

CPARC gives students the opportunity to:

  • Gain technical expertise in simulation, prototyping, and engineering software.
  • Build professional collaboration skills working with engineers and industry leaders.
  • Develop a portfolio of real projects for college and career advancement.
  • Grow in leadership, teamwork, and ethical decision-making.

    To participate in CPARC projects, students must:

    • Enroll in Applied Engineering Design.
    • Have a CSWA certification.

      Once those qualifications have been met, students will work alongside professionals on hands-on projects to gain experience and build their resumes. Students often receive letters of recognition from partnering companies, which is a powerful way to stand out from peers when applying for college and future jobs.
