Introduction to Education: 0850
Prerequisite: 3.0 GPA or score of 235 on Accuplacer test
An introduction to early childhood, elementary, and secondary education for students interested in teaching. Students will explore their potential for teaching in light of admission criteria and licensure requirements. Includes study of historical and social foundations of education topics such as inquiry into the teaching and learning process, schools in a multicultural and diverse society, the profession of teaching principles of cooperative group learning and cultural differences, communication, and stereotyping. Fifteen hours of field experience is included.
Seniors - need to have a 3.0 GPA or above and be in the top half of their graduating class*
Juniors - need to have a 3.0 GPA or above and be in the top third of their graduating class*
Manufacturing-Metals: 9078
Grades 10-12
Various aspects of metalworking will be explored. Major emphasis will be placed on welding and sheet metal. You will learn how to use arc welding, MIG (wire-feed) welding, sheet metal equipment, plasma cutting, milling and other power and hand tools associated with metalworking. Safety will be emphasized greatly in this class as you complete team and individual projects from a selection list. the course some technical reading will be done, and this will help prepare you for the technical reading standard found in advanced welding.
CTE Aerospace Engineering/Physics: 9073/9074
Grades 10-12
In this course students will apply physics principles to design items used in everyday and future agricultural life. Projects could include, but are not limited to, super mileage, NASA Hunch projects, and state science fair projects. Teams will work to strengthen engineering principles to design within the constraints of physics. Pre-existing knowledge is not needed to succeed in inventing for NASA. They want fresh eyes and ideas on problems. We will be interacting with NASA engineers on a regular basis. Students will leave this class with recognition by NASA.
Power Mechanics (Small Engines): 9747
Grades 10-12
Tasks include disassembly and reassembly of a small engine, reading repair and technical manuals, and demonstration of ability to use specialized vocabulary and specialized resources. Daily lessons will center on working with small engines, the theory of operation and use of specialized tools, analysis of problems and preventive maintenance, selection, use, and operation of precision measuring equipment. The course will look at electronic fuel injection EFI and electric motors.
Veterinary Sciences: 9072
Grades 9-12
This course deals with the study of large and small animal veterinary sciences. Small animal care, and nutrition will be mixed with modern day practices used by livestock producers in managing their dairy, beef, sheep, hog, poultry and horse enterprises. Expect to understand cell theory, heredity, biological change, interdependence and behavior of animals and other organisms, and current concepts in animal science such as cloning, genetic engineering, nutrition, care, handling, etc. In addition, we will learn about genetics and reproduction, disease prevention and control, and analysis of management techniques used in the industry.
Construction Technology: 9042
Grades 9-12
This course will cover various woodworking techniques. Students will work in teams to plan, create structure, and finish a piece for a manufactured project. Planning will include drafting, wood selection, materials list, and budgeting. The structure will include team activities and building. You will demonstrate the skills required for safety, and the safety of your classmates. Technical reading and writing will be required.
CTE Transportation Engineering/ Physics: 9075/9076
Grades 9-12
In this course, students will apply physics principles to design items used in everyday and future life. Projects could include, but are not limited to, designing a battery electric and or internal combustion car or competitions across North America. Teams will work to strengthen engineering principles to design with in the constraints of physics like aerodynamics, suspension, power train, PLC’s, and motor controllers. The class will work with international teams to collaborate on our projects.
Environmental/Bioengineering: 9070/ 9071
Grades 10-12
This is a lab course in which daily lessons will include designing and conducting scientific experiments in naturally occurring environmental and agricultural systems. We will start with how the earth was formed and continue to determine the probable outcomes to each change our planet sees. You will collect and record data for a science fair project of your choosing. Participation in the State Science Fair and World Food Prize are optional. Expect to analyze results, and hypothesize explanations of the data you found. Expect to go out and study insects, birds, trees, and investigate feeding habits of numerous types of wildlife. Minnesota ecosystems will be part of the course, as well as global environmental issues. You should be prepared to endure the natural elements of rain, cold, sun, etc.
Electrical Wiring: 9077
Grades 10-12
This course is designed to be an introductory lab course in electricity and electronics. You will learn how to use various electronic precision measurement devices, how to assemble and design parallel series, series-parallel circuits, use of capacitors, resistors, and diodes, and AC and DC concepts. Daily learning will include residential and industrial wiring learning labs, using a demonstration building as the learning environment. The basic laws of electricity will be explored, with emphasis on Ohms Law and Watts Law. Finally demonstrate, expect to explain, and apply principles of electrical safety.
Work Based Learning 9946/9947
Grades 11-12
This course is for juniors and seniors in CTE programs that are looking to further their education and skills. Students will gain valuable paid work experience with a local company after they complete their in-person employability training. Successful participants may be eligible for college credit or be invited to become a full-time employee. Students will need to provide their own transportation, apply to the program and be willing to interview with participating companies. Internship/apprenticeship areas include: manufacturing, construction, information technology, health science and engineering.
