FA14712 DIGITAL MUSIC AND AUDIO PRODUCTION
SEMESTER CREDIT 0.5
$35
Satisfies one of the following: 0.5 elective, 0.5 Fine Arts elective, 0.5 Technology elective, 0.5 Practical Arts elective
Grades: 9-12
Prerequisites: none
◆ This introductory course provides students with the basic knowledge of music making and audio production. Students with no music experience to students who play an instrument or have knowledge of the digital world of music, everyone will gain a first hand understanding of the digital audio workstations(DAW), Soundtrap and GarageBand. Students will learn the basic concepts of recording and editing music tracks and the spoken word. Students will also explore digital music and audio careers. Projects include creating a personal ringtone, editing the dialogue and applying music and sound effects to radio commercials, creating an original radio commercial, understanding the leitmotif and the work of a Foley artist, adding music and sound effects to video, and a personal passion project.
TE11411 ROBOTICS 1
SEMESTER CREDIT 0.5
$25
Satisfies one of the following: 0.5 elective, 0.5 Technology elective, 0.5 Practical Arts elective
Grades: 9-12
UNMLA Dual Credit: ELCT combined with TE11511
Prequisites: none
◆ First part of UNM Dual Credit course ELCT 162. This course uses robotic applications to solve a variety of engineering challenges and competitions, using electrical and mechanical systems. Students design, build, and program various robotic devices, using the engineering design process to refine their creations. Scientific and engineering principles, as well as creative use of sensors and programming, will be emphasized. This is a project based, problem-solving, hands-on course.
Note: Students will also have the opportunity to join the FIRST Robotics FRC Team (FIRST Robotics Competition). Dubbed a “varsity sport of the mind”, FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. The team will design, build and program a robot to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get. The team will compete in regional and national competitions. (1732)
