Syllabuses & Abbreviations Explained

#1- Syllabuses (links below):  ALL of my classes now fall under two Career and Technology Educations Career Clusters: (STEM) Science, Engineering, Technology, & Math or Archtecture and Construction. 

#2- Explanation of what the different abbreviations mean:

STEM Pathway

CET: Concepts of Engineering & Technology (Periods 1 or 2) - PDF File or Google Doc CET-1 or CET-2 Syllabus

EDP: Engineering Design & Presentation (Periods 3 or 4)- PDF File or Google Doc EDP-3 or EDP-4 Syllabus

EDP-II: ADVANCED Engineering Design & Presentation (Periods 3 & 4)- PDF File or Google Doc EDP-II Syllabus

Architecture & Construction Pathway

AD: Architectural Design (Periods 6 or 7) -PDF File or Google Doc AD-3 or AD-4 Syllabus

AD-II: ADVANCED Architectural Design (Periods 6 & 7) - PDF File or Google Doc AD-II Syllabus

NOTE: we started the AD-II Internship program last year. We are projecting to be doing that again this year. If you are selected for this we will let you know & explain the course. Only students currently enrolled in the AD-II course are eligible for the highly coveted program.

ID-7: Interior Design (2012) ID-2012 Syllabus

CTE = Career & Technology Education

TSA = Technology Student Assoc.

TP/ATC = TechPrep or Statewide Articulation (College Credit): www.techpreptexas.org

FYI: My belief is that my advance class EDP-TP & ADP students can DO IT & should get the credit for doing it. This sometimes requires that I miss school day(s) for training, but I know it is time well spent.  For students to recieve the credit all they must do I fill out the proper form & pay $10-$30, depending upon the college. The college will request confirmation from CHS & then the student recieves it, just like a AP course.   I have completed my training & certification for EG  & AD. This is something I must renew via training at least every two years. I have made sure that these courses match or articulate with the same curriculm Houston Community Colleges, Montgomery Community Colleges, TAMU EG, & SHSU EG programs. That means that my students are doing college level work, to recieve the ATC college credit. I have even taught as an adjunct lecturer in  the IT department at SHSU 2004-2008.
