Engineering Science Essentials I & II (9-12)
9650/9651
Credit for this course can count towards 9th grade Science credit (in place of Physical Science)
This course teaches what engineering is and what types of engineering exist. Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying science, engineering, and math standards to hands-on projects. Students learn the basics of 3D modeling and printing, working in collaborative teams to design real and testable solutions to open-ended problems in a real-world context. Students focus on the process of defining and solving a problem. Students have the potential to earn college credit based on their end-of-course exam score.
Aerospace Engineering I & II (10-12)
9857/9858
In this course students learn about the fundamentals of flight. Students apply the concepts of flight by designing gliders, rockets, airfoils, and propulsion systems. Students also explore remotely-operated robotic systems via VEX™ robot programming. Students have the potential to earn college credit based on their end-of-course exam score.
Civil Engineering and Architecture I & II (10-12)
9753/9754
In this course students learn about residential home design and construction. Students learn important aspects of construction, site design and development. Students apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3D architecture design software. Students have the potential to earn college credit based on their end-of-course exam score.
Advanced Placement Computer Sciences Principles I & 11 (9-12)
9811/9812
In this course students learn about the fundamental ideas of computer science and how to apply computational thinking across multiple disciplines. Students learn to apply creative designs and innovative solutions when developing computational artifacts. Topics covered include abstraction, communication of information using data, algorithms, programming and the Internet. There are five big ideas that frame the course curriculum: creative development, data, algorithms and programming, computer systems and networks, and impact of computing. This course prepares students for the AP Computer Science Principles test in the spring, which could potentially earn them college credit.
Student Technology Team (9-12)
0700
Prerequisite: Student needs to apply with Mr. King in the Media Center.
The Student Technology Team course is a hands-on study of technology integration in an educational context. Students are required to assess problem sets and define the best approach to addressing or solving the problem. In addition, students are required to consider and address problems or solutions in educational technology integration.
