College or Career? Give your Students the Opportunity to Choose Both.
The Advanced Career (AC) program is part of the High Schools That Work Initiative, supported by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). AC fuses a rigorous and relevant blend of technical and academic skills in authentic projects. These courses give students a greater depth of knowledge and skills — and prepare them for more options after they graduate.
Aerospace Engineering - Students in this curriculum will explore how to design, build, test and analyze the forces and physical properties of planes, rockets and unmanned vehicles. Through project-based learning, students will explore the future of aerospace and learn to apply those habits of behavior and mind unique to the field.
Automated Materials Joining Technology will appeal to students who want to focus on joining and forming technologies, materials science, computer-aided design and automated systems — key facets of advanced manufacturing — while applying math and science knowledge to design and produce products.
Clean Energy Technology - This curriculum enables students to apply fundamental science and operating principles of clean energy systems to authentic problems that involve motors and generators, photovoltaic systems, water and energy conservation, wind turbines, biofuel generation, bioreactors, water power, energy harvesting, fuel cells, and nuclear power.
Energy and Power - Students will research, design and build a series of authentic, hands-on projects that will enable them to understand the interplay of the generation, distribution and use of energy.
Bridging the Gap – Students become civil engineers as they design a new bike path bridge to cross a stream that accommodates two bicycle lanes and emergency vehicles. Students explore types of bridges, static forces and scale factors in drawing and model-building.
Health Informatics - This curriculum merges information science, computer science and health care. Students use information technology, data analysis software and statistics to address a range of health related topics.
