Technology and Design I
Prerequisites: Application and B+ average in math
The course starts during Freshman year and is one semester. This is a hands-on class designed to give students experience in the fields of technology and engineering. The focus of the course is centered around five major aspects of technology and design: robotics, engineering, computer programming, web design, cyber security. The course gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understand course concepts through activities, projects, and problem-based learning.


Technology and Design II
Prerequisites: Technology and Design I
The course is offered Sophomore year and is one semester. Students will build on skills learned in Technology and Design I. The focus of the course is centered around five major aspects of technology and design: robotics, engineering, computer programming, web design, cyber security.


Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles
Prerequisites: B+ average in Algebra I and Geometry
The AP Computer Science Principles course is designed to be equivalent to a first-semester introductory college computing course. In this course, students will develop computational thinking skills using a program called Processing, to create digital art and content using the Java language. The course engages students in the creative aspects of the field by allowing them to develop computational artifacts based on their interests. Students will also develop effective communication and collaboration skills by working individually and collaboratively to solve problems, and will discuss and write about the impacts these solutions could have on their community, society, and world.


Advanced Placement Computer Science A
Prerequisites: Completion of AP Computer Science Principles and B+ average in math courses.
AP Computer Science A is equivalent to a first-semester, college-level course in computer science. The course introduces students to computer science with fundamental topics that include problem solving, design strategies and methodologies, organization of data (data structures), approaches to processing data (algorithms), analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing. The course emphasizes both object-oriented and imperative problem solving and design using Java language. These techniques represent proven approaches for developing solutions that can scale up from small, simple problems to large, complex problems. The AP Computer Science A course curriculum is compatible with many CS1 courses in colleges and universities.


Engineering Design PLTW
Prerequisites: Technology and Design I and II
(View Curriculum)
This is a hands-on class designed to give students an experience in the field of engineering. Students will use the Problem Solving Model to design solutions to problems related to the fields of engineering. The major focus of the course is to expose students to the design process, engineering standards, research and analysis, technical documentation, global and human impacts, communication methods and teamwork. The course gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity-, project-, and problem-based learning.
