There are four categories for
SAE programs:
•
•
•
•
Exploratory
Research / Experimentation and Analysis
Ownership / Enterprise
Placement
Key Terms:
• Entrepreneurship – Student Owned
• Placement – Student works for…..
• Research / Experimentation – Student
driven research or experimentation design
and implementation.
As students develop their long-range SAE
plans they may engage in enterprises or
activities that cross the four SAE categories,
which could theoretically qualify for multiple
proficiency awards.
