Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Technology: Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Technology builds upon the skills and knowledge learned in Manufacturing and Engineering Technology.  This course will offer Juniors and Seniors the opportunity to further advance their skill in the areas of  machining, forming, joining, engineering design, project planning,  and product innovation and design. Comprehensive understanding and application of current safety standards and procedures will be a component of each study unit. Career planning, project innovation, and work experience will be integral parts of the course.  Exploring Computer Science: Exploring Computer Science is a hands-on introduction to computer architecture, programming, and using the computer as a creative tool. The class is taught in the computer lab and is project-based, rather than textbook-based. The class is divided into six basic units. Units consist of: a survey of computer architecture and human/computer interaction, algorithmic problem-solving, web site development, program design and development using Scratch, data analysis, and robotics. Each unit uses a series of projects of increasing complexity to introduce, refine, and integrate programming and development concepts, culminating with a "capstone" projects as a unit final.  ICT Foundations: Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Foundations has been designed to prepare students to employ critical thinking and problem solving skills in a variety of real world scenarios. The overarching objective of the course is to expose students to an array of programs, applications, and technology and provide the groundwork for success throughout a student's educational career. Students will engage in a host of hands-on activities designed to enhance technological efficiency and promote a positive future in the digital world. ICT Foundations will provide students with tools necessary to be a well-qualified participant in today's perpetually changing global economy. After completing this course, students will have fulfilled the El Dorado Union High School District Technology Requirement needed for graduation and be able to select from a variety of courses within the ICT pathway.  Introduction to Manufacturing and Engineering: Introduction to solid modeling software which is the foundation for all modern mechanical engineering and manufacturing systems. The course also covers the basics of modern machining, welding and other technologies such as 3D printing and electro-mechanical systems. It is a 1-year course for students who wish to continue learning about engineering design. Students will use the principles learned in Engineering I, to understand how basic machines work, and to apply these mechanical devices to design features to solve engineering problems. Problem solving techniques will also be applied to architectural problems. All work will be assembled into the student's portfolio.  Manufacturing and Engineering Technology: This course represents a contextualized, laboratory-based, integrated curriculum opportunity for students to learn about drafting and design, machining and forming, welding and materials joining, and product innovation and design. Students will develop critical thinking skills through a variety of multimodal, problem-solving techniques. Students will gain hands-on skills in basic machine shop practices, measurement systems, shop safety practices, drilling machines, grinding machines, and milling machines. The integrated content focuses on competence in an age of rapidly advancing technology; and providing students with the basis for making a wise academic and career choice.
