Auto Tech 9 -12 (Year)
This class affords students with an opportunity to acquire basic skills and knowledge in the service, inspection, repair and maintenance of the automobile. Emphasis is placed on the safe and proper use of automotive products, shop tools and shop equipments. The student will discover and develop personal aptitudes, interests and abilities in the automotive field. Auto Tech Education can be used as a automotive repair class, to train entry level or apprentice technicians or prepare more experienced technicians for ASE certification areas and to enter community college programs who although they have met the course prerequisites. Today many Car Dealerships offer entry-level positions and scholarships with qualification for A.S. Degree in Technical Colleges. This can be help to be a bridge for 4-year college degree in future.

Engineering Drawing/CADD 9 - 12 (Year)
The engineering drawing/CADD (computer aided drawing and design) course is designed to provide beginning students with instruction and skills in drawing and design fundamentals through the use of CADD workstations. The content includes, but is not limited to, orthographic projections, pictorial drawings, working drawings for construction and manufacturing, graphical solutions, measurements in both metric and customary systems. Student will be required to perform measurements in both the metric and U.S. customary systems and use math standards and scientific principles and information to solve problems. It is strongly recommended that this course be taken by aspiring engineering students, architects, and drafting technicians. Students will be required to plan, design, and produce projects; develop solutions to problem solving activities, present ideas and information orally and in writing; investigate content-related occupations; make visits to industries; assume leadership roles and work cooperatively. Skills learned in this class will prepare students to be successful in Architectural Drawing and Computer Animation.

Architectural Draw/CADD 10 - 12 (Year)
The architectural drawing course is designed to provide students with instruction and skills in computer aided drawing (CAD) fundamentals commonly used in the production of residential and commercial buildings. The course includes the study of the basic fundamentals of design, and the skills related to the production of architectural designs. Student will be required to perform measurements in both the metric and U.S. customary systems and use math standards and scientific principles and information to solve problems. The content includes, but is not limited to, designing interior and exterior elements of structures in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations. Students will prepare presentations of designs created using CAD technology. It is recommended that future architects, engineers, drafting technicians, interior decorators, and homeowners take this course. Students will be required to plan, design, and produce projects; develop solutions to problem solving activities, present ideas and information orally and in writing; investigate content-related occupations; assume leadership roles and work cooperatively. Students should completed Engineering Drawing as preparation for Architectural Draw/CAD.

Emerging Technologies 9-12 (Semester)
This class will give students the opportunity to explore technologies in a way that will allow them to be responsible for their own learning. Students must be self-disciplined and able to meet deadlines independently to success in this class. Students will examine a new or recent technological development of their own choosing via individual research, and the production and presentation of projects or other culminating activities. Students will use electronic learning services to access additional resources. Students should have a deep-seated desire to learn about a particular technological advance and this will give them the time to explore that desire.

Technology Leadership in the Community 10-12 (Year)
Recommendations: Experience with PCs, strong working knowledge of applications used in school (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and capacity to learn newest technologies, and HIGH interest in education and teaching. Students must be self-motivated and have a high level of personal responsibility. The TLC class merges learning the newest computer technologies with learning how to effectively teach others those technologies. Students collaboratively study and learn new software packages and computer skills while learning how to become effective trainers and educators. TLC students examine their own roles as teachers and learners, increasing their learning abilities in all other classes. This course is designed to train students to become effective teachers and learners by complementing the technology support in their school community. Work in a variety of different classrooms is required.

Computer Service and Support (A+): 9-12 (Year)
This program is intended to prepare students for computer support careers. Students enrolled in this course will learn how to perform shop maintenance, repair computers, install operating systems and software, acquire employment skills, as well as operate a service and support business. The course will provide students with concepts and skills necessary to achieve certification in PC Repair and Technical Support. This distributed learning model of instruction provides a blend of instruction with hands-on experiences that reflects current industry practices. During the course, students will identify and use hand tools, PC hardware and software, and will explore electronics theory. Installation, upgrade and repair will be explored in new and older personal computer systems. A number of operating systems also will be reviewed. Successful completion of this course should prepare the student to pass the CSS examination for certification.

Cisco Networking I 10-11 (Year)
This course prepares students to become network engineers and prepares them for entrance into a technology career field or further technology study. The program includes a complete range of basic and advanced networking concepts--from pulling cables through such complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies. Successful completion of this course and the Cisco Networking II course should prepare the student to pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) examination. This course requires tremendous dedication and independence. Students must be self-motivated and have the discipline to do most of the reading outside of class.

Cisco Networking II 11-12 (Year)
Prerequisite: Cisco Networking I Continuation of networking skills learned in Cisco I. Successful completion of this course should prepare the student to pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) examination.

Robotics/Mech Engineering 10-12 (Year)
Course provides a bridge for students between high school and what lies beyond with a focus on career planning and many job related to the manufacturing and engineering industries. This course helps students to decide whether they want to enter the workforce through entry-level jobs, or go on to college to qualify for professional careers.
