Course Descriptions:
Functional Design Through Algebra: This course is UC “C” (college preparatory mathematics) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective or high school math. Credits: 10. This University of California Curriculum Integration (UCCI) course engages students to discover the power of mathematical modeling. Through a variety of engineering design projects, students utilize mathematical operations to optimize the outcome of each challenge. Students will design parachutes, bungee jumps and boats. Students will document calculations, graphical relationships, sketches of prototypes and final designs in an engineering notebook that includes summaries of each project and ideas for future redesigns. By building understanding of mathematical equations, graphs, and algebraic relationships, students will see how mathematical understanding can verify optimal performance and design in a variety of applications.
Foundations of Technology and Engineering: This course is UC “G” (college preparatory elective) approved and meets one of the following graduation requirements: vocational education or elective. Credits: 10. This course is a Paxton-Patterson high school engineering course. This course provides a student experience that develops career ready practices in the context of project based learning. Areas of study include alternative energy, architectural design, biotechnology, communications technology, construction technology, digital electronics, environmental technology, manufacturing technology, materials science, robotics & automation, transportation technology. Students will work productively in teams, use technology to enhance productivity, plan education and career paths, utilize critical thinking, define problems and persevere in solving them, demonstrate creativity and innovation employ valid and reliable research methods and apply appropriate academic and technical skills.
