Biomedical Sciences Academy*

The Project Lead The Way Biomedical Sciences (BMS) Program is a sequence of courses that use a hands‐on, real‐world problem‐solving approach to learning. Biomedical Science is a problem and project-based course in which students are allowed the freedom to discover key ideas through engaging activities. The problems that are focused upon are based on real life medical issues. Students work with the same equipment and tools used by professionals to explore the roles and responsibilities of a variety of medical specialists. Topics covered throughout the course include human medicine, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and public health.

921280 HONORS BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE I 2.00 Credits/Full Year 

In Semester I of the program, students explore concepts of biology and medicine to determine what led to the death of a fictional person. Students examine autopsy reports, investigate medical history and explore medical treatments that may have prolonged the person’s life. In Semester II, students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis in the body. Students build organs and tissues on a skeletal manikin and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration. Throughout the semester, students take on the roles of biomedical professionals to solve real-world medical cases. Students design experiments, investigate the structures and functions of the human body, and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration. This course meets the requirements of Honors Principles of Biomedical Science and Human Body Systems through Project Lead the Way. 

922280 HONORS BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE II*2.00 Credits/Full Year 

In Year 2 of the program, students follow the life of a fictitious family as they investigate how to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Students explore how to detect and fight infection, screen and analyze DNA, evaluate cancer treatments, and prevail when organs of the body fail. Interventions related to immunology, surgery, pharmacology, medical devices, and diagnostics are explored. In the final part of the course, students build on their acquired knowledge and skills to design innovative solutions for pressing health challenges of the 21st century. Topics range from public health, biomedical engineering, clinical medicine and physiology. This course meets the requirements of Medical Interventions and Biomedical Innovation through Project Lead the Way. REQUIRED: Successful completion of Honors Biomedical Science I

931270 LEADERSHIP EDUCATION & TRAINING 1 (LET 1) 2.00 Credits/Full Year 

In this course you will evaluate the challenge of managing a process, the qualities of an effective manager, and how to evaluate performance and give instruction. Classroom discussions include how attention to detail becomes a key component in successful career development. You will also gain keen insights to the inner workings of our government and national security and how the government authenticates naval operations and support functions. Additional subjects include an introduction to applied physics as it pertains to electromagnetic energy and weapon systems and aircraft operations. You will have the opportunity to be promoted to staff positions and exercise increased responsibilities by managing the operations, administration, public affairs, and supply departments of the NJROTC unit. 

932270 LEADERSHIP EDUCATION & TRAINING (LET 2) 2.00 Credits/Full Year  

This is where it all comes together! As the leaders of fellow cadets, this is your command! The leadership practicum is designed to give you supervised practical application of previously studied leadership theories. You will be afforded the opportunity to apply those leadership traits outside of the classroom during several field trips. The introduction of ethics becomes an added layer to the leadership continuum and allows for a focused engagement for practicing ethical leadership techniques. By practicing your leadership style, you will have the opportunity to put your legacy into the history of this program. You will then analyze the reasons for the varying degrees of success throughout the year. You will also be provided access to ACT/SAT preparation courses, guidance in selecting a college and pursuing available scholarships. Classroom activities include seminars, reading assignments, classroom presentations, and practical work with younger cadets. Seniors are mentored/guided in their preparation for life after high school including college preparation, scholarship applications, and the variety of choices that are available to them. 

Extra-Curricular Activities 

NJROTC cadets participate in several outside, or extra-curricular, activities throughout the school year and during the summer months. These opportunities are designed to stimulate learning by hands-on experience and to reinforce classroom instruction. Some of these activities include: School and local field trips such as parades, community service projects and events, academic, athletic, drill, marksmanship and orienteering events and competitions are spread throughout the school year. Leadership and Civic training opportunities ranging from 1-2 weeks during the summer months include: Basic Leadership Training, Leadership Academy, and Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) programs at major universities.
